Reply to comment by OG-420 in Warmed this up in the toaster just to realise my daughter must have bitten into it a day ago. by schnuck

She’s 11 years old. She could have warned me.

I’ve bitten in it once and immediately understood exactly why she must have stopped after her single bite.

P.S. It’s unnice

Ok. I still have lots to learn.

I wanted to put out the pumpkin she’s carved. I was almost crucified because she wants to do it. Tomorrow. Even though she’s at school tomorrow.

I was allowed to prepare the areas for the three pumpkins.

Sigh… it’s only a few hours until Halloween - what can my two daughters have against my actions?!

“Daddy, they will get mouldy if you put them out too early!” - Wtf? Halloween is in a few hours and only lasts a day.

What is it that I’m missing?

I even suggested they can light the candles when back from school.

Double sigh…

Well I can give you lessons. The biggest thing I can tell you if it’s not to late is to give the reason why you’re suggesting doing something a certain way as opposed to just stating you want them to do something……girls are not easy I raised two ….the trying years are coming ….just remember they are going through a tremendous change and some days will lash out for know reason your job is to not lash back but have understanding and compassion.
