6. Best Served Spicy
My kids are usually well-behaved, but yesterday they were just buttheads. Whining, arguing, yelling, testing the limits, etc. Long story short, I’ve been exacting my petty revenge since last night.
I gave them each the wrong yogurt flavor with dinner. Made them take a shower instead of a bath. Gave them something they like for breakfast while I ate something they love in front of them. They asked for some but I made it spicy so I couldn’t share.
Then. Then, I dropped them off at daycare, called in sick to work, and came home and laid in bed with my SO all day. My final revenge was eating the last of the favorite yogurt flavor while watching a movie in bed (a joy they won’t understand for years).
This is the pettiest I’ve ever been as a parent.
