On the importance of passing the shit on.

You will have noticed that lately there has been a bit of whinging going on round here about the daughter person. The selfishness and selfcentredness has been getting to me lately, and also R. R tends to talk to me about the things that are bothering him - its like, you know, part of being married and stuff. The problem is that all the faults of the daughter person are being Cstantly reinforced. All her good points are being ignored.

So last night I rang the local organiser for these kids and said I needed a break, pronto. Like this weekend would be good. And she agrees, and also wants it to be for the whole weekend, so the daughter person would be picked up from school after the last bell, not even come home to be picked up from there. When she said that my heart went pit-a-pat with happiness, so I figure I'm more than overdue for the break. But no-one can have her in their homes, and there is a camp this weekend, so the plan was she would have to go to camp afterall.

I already knew she did not want to go to camp AT ALL, and so I was anticipating she would be upset by the news. I stewed on having to tell her. I was worrying about it and a little sorry for her. But she emerged from her room after I had a shower, and I broke the news of my weekend break and her weekend horror. Nope, she was not happy. Yup, she is going to ring the local organiser and try to get out of camp.

And I felt like the problem had ceased to be mine, and had become hers. I ceased to worry. I'm now looking forward to the weekend, and not Csidering too hard what her weekend will be like (a bit of selfcentredness and selfishness going on there). But I feel like the problem has arrived now at the right persons plate. I was worried about telling her, not worried about what she might do for the weekend. I passed the shit on, and it felt good.

(One of the suggestions she made was that she could stay the weekend at home by herself. We don't think she even knows how to start the microwave, let alone how to work the can opener, which happens to be an elderly army one and not obvious on how it goes. I supposed she might eat takeaways for the weekend, but it sure didn't sound like any plan that would give me a relaxing weekend. She might do her own washing but I'm Cfident she would not do ours, and yes we do hers when she puts it in the baskets. She might vacuum, but I doubt the dog would get a walk. In short, I'd be thinking too much about what was going on at home and not relaxing enough.)

And by the way, R is out tonight, and away all weekend too.

I'm glad you are getting a break! I find it mad that she thinks you guys should go and leave her alone in the house. Where would you go to? What might she do with a house and no adults around (admittedly all I ever did was have people over to watch videos and eat junk food. Some of them might have been R18, but never pr0n;) What a wild child!)??

Going to camp is really not that big a punishment. You'd think she would organise going to stay with a friend for the weekend if she was really desperate not to go to camp.

Is anybody strong in radio here? We need a colleague who would tell us briefly about the transistor T2. I hope there are radio amateurs here. If it`s not on the subject at all, then I`m sorry. I have to write because I have no choice. PS: if the spelling is not right then also I'm sorry, I'm just 13 years old!...
