and i'm the one with food issues!

L - i wish you weren't my mom, anymore.

(quiet, trying not to respond by laughing or being mean, i am moody after all)

L - mom, can i have a treat?

Me - Lyra, you just got through telling me that you don't want me to be your mom. Why would I want to give you a treat?

L - but i want a treat

Me - that's not a nice thing to say

L - but i want one.

Me - no, it's not nice to say you don't want me to be your mommy. it's ok to be mad at me but don't say mean things to me, please.

L - i wish i didn't have a dad or brother. i just want a momma.

(frown)

L - can i have a treat?

Me - (huff) you can have a banana

L - no

Me - if you are hungry, you'll eat a banana

L - i only love you a little bit
