Kids nowadays

We went to the movie theater yesterday. My daughter was a huge brat. HUGE. Things were great until Porgie decided to start SCREAMING in the middle of the movie because she wanted to leave. Fine, let's go. When we got to the door, she started SCREAMING to go back in and watch the rest of the movie. Umm...no way little girl.

As I dragged my screaming daughter through the lobby, Izzy started whining to go to the potty. I quickly pulled them into the bathroom, where my daughter continued to SCREAM because she really really really wanted to go back to watch the movie. While Izzy was peeing, Porgie started with the gagging. Remember how my daughter used to make herself puke all the time? Well, she no longer does that - except for when she is really really really upset.

Because I am an awesome parent, I looked at her and said, "If you puke in this bathroom, you are going to be in BIG trouble!" She continued gagging. Another mother ran up to me and said, "Your daughter is choking!" I responded by rolling my eyes and ignoring my horrible child.

We finally made it out to the parking lot. I was sooooo angry with Porgie. I plopped her into her car seat and made a rule that there was to be NO talking the entire way home. She must have sensed my anger, because she didn't make a peep during the 20 minute drive.

It was a bad morning. I don't understand why my lovely, well behaved daughter decided to go insane. As punishment, we are going to skip the movies for a few weeks. I am kind of embarrassed to show my face in there again.

Holy crap! So sorry to hear this. :( I still haven't taken Bayley to a movie because I don't know that her attention span would last. And I am always nervous about her screaming too. :(
