Calling out the Piecers

Oh yeah, one thing to add to my piecing list:

11 - Restore uniform parenting and routine with the kids. IN PRGRESS

I made dinner for (x)W and kids last night and ended up kind of upsetting (x)W on this issue.

First of all, table manners. They all know I am very particular on table manners and the boys were not raised as pigs. They also know, when the family sits down at the table, NO TV should be on unless it's really something special. Well, TV was on which means boys have be sit all twisted and contorted not eating over their plates. SO, I shut the TV off.

S11 still failed to ralize what a plate is for.

S12 continually went upon my pet-peave of all and kept talking with a mouth full of food.

Neither of them cleaned up their area and up and went to there rooms to watch their infernal TVs.

S11 even wen tso far as to just get up and start fold and put away his clean laundry without even washing his hands.

Soooo, I brought each and every one of these items up with them and how they know this is not tolerated under my watch. They both had these blank stares on their faces. They know and do so at "my house" to eat appropriately, clean up their areas, rinse their plates and wash their hands when they are done.

So, in a tizzy I commented that to (x)W, nothing derogatory to or against her, but she took it that way.
