I came home yesterday and Daddy had to take the truck while I was at school, which is what I normally drive. I had to take the car, and he as stuck with the truck. When I got home, he was very very angry. The truck was messy and he had to clean it and it was very bad and my bathroom was messy. He said he was furious and to give him a while to calm down. I did some studying and when I came downstairs to get a drink of water, he told me I had to sit at the table and drink it and that from now on, food and drink is only to be done in the kitchen and that he is going to make sure I start behaving like a civilized young lady. (hehe on that part)
yikes!
yikes!

Thu, November 5, 2009 - 7:04 PMuh oh! do you think he'll enforce it with consistency or do you think the rule will be gone within a week or so? -

Re: Trouble.
Thu, November 5, 2009 - 10:10 PMNo, this one will probably be enforced. No eating or smoking in the truck anymore either.
If a rule is made b/c I did something wrong, he sticks to his guns b/c he can usually remember that I did something wrong in the first place. Kind of like if you miss a question on a test, you always remember it later?
I was so upset that he was angry last night. Not upset at him, but so disappointed in myself for letting things get so bad. I'm in school and I'm busy, but seriously, I shouldn't let things get beyond a teensy messy. I cried and he asked me not to and I asked him to please just let me cry b/c it wasn't b/c I was mad at him for being mad, but b/c I disappointed him.
However, I'm super impressed by how he handled the whole thing. Normally, he would have just yelled at me a bunch and completely forgot the dynamics of the relationship while he was still angry. This time, he was very considerate and took his time sorting through his anger and made a decisive effort towards helping me to behave better. I am not going to break these new rules..at all. -

Fri, November 6, 2009 - 12:50 PMThat is very good. What a wonderful thing when a Daddy helps his young lady be a better more organized, more "civilized" person.
That is great apple!
I am really messy and would love to learn the lesson of cleaning out the car all the time. We spend so much time in there it literally needs to be cleaned up more often than the kitchen or living room. I even have a litter bag which helps so much. -

Fri, November 6, 2009 - 5:22 PMI was BEYOND messy before we met. He has whipped me into shape when it comes to the kitchen, living room, bedroom, etc. It's just been a long hard road with the bathroom and the car. We've been battling over it for the past 6 years and I still have yet to catch on. However, this is the first time I saw him sincerely upset about it as opposed to just a little annoyed. So, I don't know, I hope I'll get better. I'm sure as heck going to try my darnedest.

Fri, November 6, 2009 - 10:11 PMYay I am glad you are getting better, Apple! You aren't only one - I am really messy girl too. Before I met my mommy, when I lived alone, my apartment was often messy, and all of that. In other words, no rules for me. After I met her, she changed me as well, and I became less messy person and set rules for me - such as put towels back on the rack when you are done, and do laundry more often. I am not perfect yet either... I still have bad habit of putting my clothes in messy way on the bedroom chair after I am done with them then got lazy to put those away until my mommy gives me some glares at the mess and look at me like that, then I get the hint I need to clean it up. -

what i hate is putting things on the chair and just keep putting other things ont he chair "oh this isn't dirty i will wear it tomorrow" which of course i don't, and then it gets so thick the chair tips over and everything gets wrinkled and there you go having to start all over again :( -
