LB. Fights. I hate em

Well yes, it happens, Lane and woke up and almost immediately started fighting. Goes like this:

  • I try to pull the switches on the fan to make the light turn on. We didn't turn the fan on last night so that didn't work.
  • Lane, seeing what I'm trying to do says, " No, don't turn on the light."
  • I say, "Yes it'll help us wake up better." It was a really dark for 6:30 and we weren't very awake.
  • I turn on the light.
  • " Or just ignore me." She says
  • I don't quite remember what I said after that but it turned out she says, "Fine. I don't care anymore." And stormes out of the room.

I'm sure you could think of a thousand different ways to take the story and make it right. When she said 'I don't care anymore' all the thoughts come rushing in my head about yesterdays fight. I'm not going to talk about that but I'll just say wev'e had a lot of the same kind of fights. Heres how I think we should of replayed this in two different ways:

  • I try to turn on the light like last time.
  • she says "No, don't turn on the light"
  • I suggest that it would help us wake up better.
  • " No" She says.
  • It ends.

OR....

  • I try to turn on the light like last time.
  • she says nothing.
  • I figure out the right way and turn on the light.
  • It ends

We both have our downfalls. Hers:

She can't stand know one listening or obeying.

My downfall:

I don't want to take orders from people that aren't Mom or Dad.

Lord, please end this fighting.

It would probably make everyone less mad if you would listen to what other people think, and then tell them what you think and why.

Instead of like, them telling you what they think and you rolling your eyes and ignoring them and doing what you want anyway. THAT's the part that makes everybody mad -you don't answer anything and it makes you look like you're throwing a fit, or that you're too good to talk to anybody. And Laney's really sensitive, so it makes her REALLY mad and THAT makes HER look like SHE'S throwing a fit.
