Where did I go wrong? I wanted to raise responsible independent kids. You know the ones that are kind and considerate?

And this is what I got , an irresponsible kid.

Came home to find dishes in the sink. She’s filled the hamper with all of her clothes.

And her room a mess.


I’ve since dumped the hamper into a rubbish bag and dump it on her desk. 

Anything found on the floors went back on her desk.


As for her dirty dishes and drink bottles they are now on her shelves.

Have shown hubby his darling daughter’s room . His response ? He laughed at least there’s nothing on the floors? 

Have since told him it’s my doing as everything was on the floors.

Told him he needs to talk to her. She’s irresponsible as.

And all I got was I’m grumpy picking on people. Told him look I’ve got three kids, one being irresponsible is enough . I’m trying to keep the other two from turning out like her.

Some days it feels like I’m the only one parenting . The disciplinarian . Always have to remind him to stand behind me. If not the kids will run all over us.
