My teen has become the 'The Queen of Excuses" and it is driving me INSANE.... I can never get a straight answer - But I will get a full on dialog of things that have nothing whatsoever to do with what I am asking...
Example:
Me: "Is your room picked up?
Nikki: "I have a power point presentation due"
Me: "Is your room picked up?"
Nikki: "I have to wash my hair....again"
Me: "Is your room picked up?"
Nikki: "Maybe..."
Me: "Is your room picked up? Answer my question, please"
Nikki: "Sort of..."
Me: "Yes or No?
Nikki: "I have a power point presentation due (next month), I have to wash my hair, and my favorite show is on..."
Me: "Clean your room now"
Nikki: " I have a power point presentation due, I have to wash my hair, wash my face, get my clothes ready for tomorrow, and my favorite show is on...."
Me: "Clean it now!"
Nikki: "Yes, mom..."
This example is not even the tip of the iceberg but I think you get the idea......
