Kids

This morning was one of those mornings.. The kids did nothing but fight and argue. I am not sure what has gotten into them lately. Not to mention Rick and I cleaned the Girls room and  took most of the stuff out and just gave it back Sunday..  I look in their room this morning to get them up for school and It is a mess once again.. Seriously I am beginning to think that it is to much for them to handle to keep their things in their rooms.. Christianna has clothes and books all over the place and Diana has toys and shoes all over the place..  Seriously....

Richard is just pissed and is refuses to listen.. We gave him a warning and told him that this semester he needed to start doing his school work and passing or he would be loosing things such as his phone and he will be repeating the 8th grade..  I seriously think he doesn't care.. He isn't even trying.. He refuses to do anything we tell him.. So yesterday I turned off both his phone and Christianna's phone.. He does nothing but sit on it 24/7 and he refuses to acknowledge me when I tell him anything..  So I seriously give up sometimes.. Yeah, I understand that he is a teen, but seriously he needs to listen and have some respect especially if he expects Rick and I to let him do anything.. 

Times like these are when I am glad that Rick and I made the choice that we have with getting out in October.. If not I really don't know what I will do. If he deployed, Richard would be on my last nerve..
I can barely handle him now as it is when Rick is working.. Sometimes I thought it would be easier just to leave him alone and let him do his thing, but still he needs to do his school work, and help around the house... He gives me hell when I tell him he has to clean his room or to take out the trash..
So I am so frustrated and annoyed with him sometimes...   UGH
