That title will apply to Kate if she doesn’t get it together!
I’m not really going to off her, but my goodness there are times I’d like to wring her neck.
Like yesterday, for example.
We were visiting Sleeping Bear Dunes, which just this week was named “Most Beautiful Place in America” on GMA. It is stunning.
We visited last year and had a wonderful time and had been anxious to go again this year. However, as soon as we got there, it was clear that Kate was in one of her “I’m going to be a pain in the ass and there’s nothing you can do about it” moods. Yay!
Unfortunately those moods have been becoming more and more frequent. No matter what we do or where we go, it’s not good enough or we don’t stay long enough or SOMETHING makes her miserable. Which, in turn, makes us all miserable.
Jenny and I have actually both been struggling with this ungratefulness in our oldest children, and we’ve talked about it a lot.
However, we have no solutions.
So, readers, we turn to you. Have you dealt with this kind of thing? Did your kids grow out of it or did you beat it out of them? Or is there a more effective method to change their behavior?
Because seriously, if you can look at this view and STILL be in a terrible mood, I don’t know what to tell you.
