i've contemplated this entry long and hard. but i just need an outlet to vent. you see, when scorpio and gemini are forced together, worlds collide.hours and hours of frustration brew an eruption. and usually it's the scorp who blows. herein lies my problem .... i'm not supposed to blow up in front of the gemini. i can't. i'm loyal to family. it's disrespectful. so what do i do, i count to ten. i eat my words. i swallow my anger. i try to cool off. and sometimes ... sometimes ... i take it out on the kids. and she knows it. she knows that i'm venting on the kids. so i don't let her win, and i try to teach them otherwise.
what happened today to push me over ..... now remember this is an amalgamation of many ....
me : AG what did you have for dinner today
AG : 2 nutella sandwiches
me : you had chocolate for dinner?
gemini (cutting in) : well she had her lunch at 3
me : ok .... but i don't see the nutritional value of a chocolate sandwich as her last meal of the day.
gemini : but she already ate a fried egg and fried chicken for lunch.
me : no veg? what about fruit?
me (to AG) : the next time you want to have a light dinner, ask for a cheese sandwich. and if you are still hungry, have an apple. chocolate is not dinner.
AG : ok mummy.

hmmmmm
mother? or mother in law?
not the MIL ... maybe (and sadly) that's why i'm not so tolerant.
ok...i dun know if you know how anal i used to get when it came to the children's meals....till i read this book about it. (i have it somewhere...will pass you for a read).
anyways, what i am trying to say is that its OKAY if kids (6-12 yrs) do not have a proper meal eg. instant noodles, instant microwave takeaways etc once in a while. And by once in a while, it means once a month. I've checked this with 2 pds and they confirmed this.
i hope you see that i'm sitting on the fence with this one as you know i love both the scorp and the gemini ;))))
awwwww ... i love the gemini too ... but you dunno the half of it :(
to a certain extent, i feel the adults need to be responsible for the kid's diet.
talk to the gemini when you have time and ask her what her meal plans are like. you'd be surprised. then maybe offer her some suggestions ... maybe she is just stumped for ideas.
she listens to you ... call her lah ... when you have time.
I applaud ur self-control.
I'm appalled at diet choice.
Love the Gemini too - but she feeds like she eats no? Maybe having a weekly meal plan would help?
i've got a plan. "spoke" to T today. we'll see how i can make this work.
