Unbeknownst to me I have a money tree in my backyard and I
have a dead rich uncle because my daughter seems to think that I have money
coming out of my ass. ………..and the last time I checked the leaves are just
LEAVES, I have no dead rich uncles and nothing is coming out of my ass except
for well…..the obvious.
I love hearing “I never ask for anything” before she asks
for something, but what she doesn’t recall is she has been asking to go to a
senior trip that is going to cost over $2500 and that was a big “UHM no I don’t
think so”, then it was a summer at my sisters place in Illinois which can be
done, but this week is “Can you get me a gym membership”. First off, if anyone
is going back to the gym it’s me and if I’m going to be paying for a gym
membership and driving to the gym I better be included.
I basically told her umpteen times last night and this
morning that I have no extra money to put towards this gym membership and if I
did then I wouldn’t have a problem, but with each NO and explanation I gave her
came a whiney request. This girl has some balls to keep pestering me…..I told
her that she can run around the block, use our stationary bike, use the 25
exercise DVD’s that are gathering dust…..of course to these suggestions she
stated “It’s boring”. I told her “wait
till Christmas”……and of course that wasn’t good enough. “I can’t wait till Christmas;
I need to lose 50 pounds before the end of school its A NEED not a want”.
Seriously!!! …… at this point and 6 text messages later
(this morning) I about had it with her reasoning. I explained to her that this
is not a NEED and if she wanted to lose the weight she can stay after school
and use the gym there or run on the track and watch what she eats, or join me
for runs/walks with the dogs but that request always gets a “uhmmmm no I don’t
think so”. I explained to her that if
she continued to bring this subject up she WILL get in serious trouble, if she
wants this badly enough she can get a job so she can fund the monthly payments
towards a gym membership because right now I’m busy paying off her senior
pictures!
