Thank you Janet! It is a miracle. They didn't make it, nor did they today. The point that they wanted to is fine. The snow up here is really stopping people from doing things.

Now, Mackenzie is mad at me. Jessie has been upset over Mackenzie being fresh and disrespectful for a while. She's 11 1/2, and Jessie is a push over. She called me again today because Mackenzie said "shut up." It wasn't to her face, but Jessie heard her say it and she really does not know how to deal with it. I said to put her on the phone. She put me on speaker phone. I have a no nonsense, I mean business voice, and told her that next time she does that, I'm coming over and breaking one of her toys in her room, and that she better hope it's not her TV (?????) I also said that she has a lot of nerve because she has the best parents in the world, etc. This turned into crisis city with Mackenzie hysterical to the point of a bloody nose. I am NEVER getting that involved with disciplining the kids again.

Steve got upset because he doesn't want any of the grandparents disciplining the kids to the extent of yelling at them when they're around. I can understand that and told Jessie to please tell im I'm sorry and that I agree with that rule. He's over it, but I was not happy because he could banish me again.

Too much drama for me. I think the whole thing got way out of hand. I would never have dared to say shut up in the same mile as one of my parents.

So, now Mackenzie is mad at me. I hope she gets over it soon. Truthfully, I would not have allowed my daughter to fall into such dramatics and would not have put up with her being angry at her Grandmother for trying to straighten her out a bit.

Like I said, no more of this for me. Jessie will have to learn to discipline her own children (or not). I love them all, and it's just not my place.
