So, birthday went off without a hitch. Yah, done. So that evening, everyone has left, Birthday Boy (BB) begging to watch Celebrity Apprentice and stay up until 10pm. Birthday and all, decide okay. BB goes downstairs and the screaming ensues. Thrashing, tears, stomping and such. Apparently, BB had told Dad to save last piece of cake for HIM, after all it was his cake, so I could understand his point. Ben asks Dad for piece of cake, Dad, apparently not registering that birthday boy has specifically asked him to SAVE THE CAKE FOR HIM, gives little one cake. Now it is not like Ben has eaten all the cake, there is still a good half piece of cake left. However, to BB, this is completely unacceptable. I mean the injustice of it all! The horror that Dad could have done this, (seems like a rookie mistake to me, but that's just my opinion). BB's head starts spinning around and around for the next 20 MINUTES. Crying, stomping, yelling, berating the horror OF IT ALL! How dare we even try to reason with him that there is nothing that can be done at all. How dare I!!! I even offered to give Ben Ipecac and have him throw up cake and then give it back, but that one, as you can imagine did not go over very well. I keep repeating, IT IS WHAT IT IS, NOTHING CAN BE DONE, WE ARE SORRY, SO VERY SORRY THAT WE ARE JUST HUMAN. This makes child SOOOO MUCH angrier
, doors are slammed and plans are made to move out. Five minutes later, he reappears, apologizes and asks when Celebrity Apprentice starts.Go Figure. This is DEFINITELY something we need to work on this year!
