Back to school tomorrow

Our 9 year old is bathed and in her pyjamas, and quietly reading stories to her soft toys 😌

Our 15 year old came back from her cousin's highly strung and picked a non-existent argument with my wife over homework that she had already completed at the start of the Christmas holiday. She is currently sitting in her time out corner "practising how to be quiet" 😅

I will make packed lunches shortly so everyone can hit the ground running tomorrow 😁

What she is really learning is not to talk to her parents, avoid them entirely if she can, and seek revenge in a way that hurts them but they don't know it is revenge. All negative things.

@JamesBugman No, she is going through typical teenage angst, a common phase around her age.

@JamesBugman She was there for 15 minutes to calm down a little after an exciting weekend so she can get a good night's sleep befote school. We talked perfectly normally after that and she read her little sister a bedtime story.
