There seems to be some sort of a cease-fire going on. "A" has been diligently showering everyday and paying for underwear. We did drop the prices like she asked since she has not been arguing or complaining.
Mostly, she's been wearing "B"'s clothes.
I was so ready for more tantrums about the loss of clothes, that I really wasn't prepared for this truce. In fact, I had to ask my husband how long we were going to make her pay for her clothes. We hadn't really discussed it.
This morning the question was asked:
"So, if I wash my clothes do I have to give them back to you and pay for them again? or do I get to keep them?"No yelling, no fighting, just an eerie calm.
"Um, yeah, you can keep them, you paid for them."
"Ok."
She did break down and pay me $5 this morning for a whole new outfit: pants, shirt, undershirt, socks, underwear.
Do I pay tithing on that?
I love you!!! You are teaching me a thing or two! Ally's 10 so I better get ready!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you better pay tithing! :) You're good for sticking to your guns! You might be in this for the long haul eh? So kind of "B" to share! Maybe a few good things will come out of this, she will realize how great "B" is to her, and she'll learn how to do her own laundry at a very early age! :)
