In between D9 being a lovely girl, she is these days showing up big doses of insolence, disobedience, intransigence, rudeness etc. It is really getting me down. I try to talk to her about this when we are calm. It is hard not to take her bad behaviour personally when there are only the two of us in the house. We just had a big blow up. I cancelled a visit to my friend, as D has not completed her homework and was very rude to boot.
H phoned a while ago, and he talked at length about his stuff, his interests, a film he watched etc, etc. I listened, and added a few things. Could tell H wanted to get back to what HE was saying... His convos really are all about him these days, his thoughts, his projects etc. I don't really come into it.
I do feel rather overlooked in my own life sometimes...
D being a kid is mostly about D. H is all about H these days. I feel metally exhausted. And tired of the continual running war with D over things - getting ready for school in the morning ON TIME, doing homework ON TIME, etc.
