Kids for Rent....CHEAP!!!!!!!

I used to have a red shirt and with white letters on it when I was a kid that said that..."Kid for rent...CHEAP" LMAO!!! I now understand it!
If mine aren't doing EXACTLY the opposite of what I have asked them to do today, they are trash talking one another, or trying to rip one another apart!
This all stems from all the pent up BS Shelby had in her head from her Daddy being home this past week....she acts like an angel when he is home and a total monster when he isn't! I called her on it today...well actually I asked her what the hell her problem was...and Zach popped up...She is getting out all her anger since Daddy aint here! And the light bulb went off....he is right she is a terror when he is gone and lil ms perfect when he is around! Zach acts different because he is defending himself constantly with her. NOT to say he is always the victim all the time because I am not stupid I know he instigates a lot of it with his mouth! I do know that....BUT DAMN IT...she is really pushing everyones buttons today! As I sit here and write this I can hear the banter back and forth! I just don't get it! I am so frustrated with them..I have ever threatened to have no christmas! NONE NO gifts NOTHING and anything anyone gets them will be put up till next year! And nothing...I got no response out of them...maybe it is because they know I won't do it...man if I just had the will power to do it!!! I just can't...that is to much! Maybe Santa will visit this year and that is it! I am at my wits end. Can ya tell!!!!!!
Lane got in trouble ALL week long at school again...minus Thursday the day after his Dad got onto him and he was good other than that he has been a real brat! Getting up and talking in the middle of class, not paying attention, flipping someone off....the list goes on and on...I think I get more emails from HIS teacher than I do from my entire family!!!! That is bad! I have had it with them!
I did however impliment a new thing. IF it is on the floor come bed time it is mine and they have to buy it back with chores! And I have made a list of chores that are specifically for that reason. Anyone think that is a good idea? We will see how it works out! I am just done!
Back to Shelby, I asked her why she isn't a bart brain when her daddy is here but is a totally disrespectful hateful brat when he isn't! Her response...Because Daddy is loud and he scares me when he is getting onto me...he yells real loud! I about fell out...I YELL all the time...I scream sometimes...and on occasion I have been known to throw myself in the floor to show how crazy they look when they do it! I don't spank though...that is my thing...I don't spank and I don't hit! I can count on one hand how many times I have spanked or smacked Zach and Shelby! Lane that is another story...I swated him with the belt Tuesday for calling a girl in his class a bitch...he goes to school the next day and flips someone else off!!! They are out of control! Anyone have any parenting ideas...I am all ears!
Well crap listen to this...last night while Lane and I were sleeping Zach and Shelby decided to paint Lanes toenails and finger nails and put makeup on him and marker him up with I have no idea what on his legs and "Princess" on his ass!!!! LMAO Yes that is funny I agree it is funny....BUT I have to be the parent...and Lane was devastated! I will get them back...I told them that would be their punishment! I would get them back!!! Sleep with one eye open kids!!! LMAO!!!!! BUT the point in all of that is they got along enough to do that...SO I know they can get along! I know they can....they got along so well I was sleeping right next to Lane and never heard them!!! NOW that is scary!!! But in my defense I had taken some cold meds before bed!
Anyways I better go before they hang each other in there!!! Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!
