And my Things are STOOOPID.
catnik 8:30pm
?
shadylady 8:31pm
Just the usual plus a bit.
earldebuke 8:31pm
Oh?
shadylady 8:33pm
The crowning moment came when 2 admitted he'd taken the bacon out of my lunch box (for the burger) and had it himself.
earldebuke 8:33pm
Oy
shadylady 8:33pm
Not at all because I wanted the bacon myself, but because it is stealing food. AGAIN. Impulse control, etc.
earldebuke 8:34pm
Yeah, he's had problems with that before.
shadylady 8:35pm
On top of a whole day of half-done. Not-fully-listening, following instructions. So on.
earldebuke 8:36pm
How old is number 2?
shadylady 8:39pm
9yo
earldebuke 8:40pm
mmm. Wish I knew more about child development to help ya.
shadylady 8:41pm
The ability to follow basic, repeated, step-by-step instructions is kind of a life skill.
shadylady 8:41pm
And then 2 gets this 'I'll show them, I'll stay on restriction FOREVER and NOT DO what they want!' attitude, which is not helpful.
catnik 8:43pm
yeeeaaahhhh
earldebuke 8:44pm
Authority issues. Had (Okay have) em myself. Very self defeating
shadylady 8:46pm
Yep.
shadylady 8:48pm
Well. I told him tonight his dad and I are way more experienced with this and he's got another ~10 years to go in this house. Do it with, or without, screentime. Your call.
catnik 8:51pm
ha
earldebuke 8:52pm
Ha. At this point I'm tempted to roll randomly for Jaymes' choice
catnik 8:53pm
well
catnik 8:53pm
Jaymes can make the more mature choice
earldebuke 8:53pm
Which would be? 🙂
catnik 8:54pm
well
catnik 8:54pm
pros and cons
catnik 8:54pm
Brown Dog can keep up with a big rough and tumble teen with high energy
catnik 8:55pm
He COULD be trained to be a good guardian and a real effective defender
catnik 8:55pm
He IS a goofball
catnik 8:55pm
He needs more training and work
catnik 8:56pm
His personality is friendly and laid back, good with families likely, lots of loving, if simple
catnik 8:56pm
Shaggy is fierce and smart
catnik 8:56pm
She is better trained already
catnik 8:56pm
Might butt heads with Odin
catnik 8:57pm
Dagmar is kind of a terrier/badger herself, sometimes
shadylady 8:57pm
Thinking, D. BRB.
catnik 8:57pm
i honestly don't know
earldebuke 8:58pm
Mm I can see either. That's my problem.
catnik 8:59pm
YUP
earldebuke 9:45pm
Good place to end scene? 🙂
catnik 9:46pm
yup!
earldebuke 9:47pm
I think Odin is a good pick for her
catnik 9:47pm
yeah
catnik 9:47pm
Siamese are cool kitties
catnik 9:47pm
they like to be up high
catnik 9:47pm
I imagine shoulder surfing
earldebuke 9:48pm
My grandfather had one who followed him everywhere
earldebuke 9:48pm
and yes, troll shoulders are broad
catnik 9:48pm
They can be pushy
