There are several issues that arise when kids share the same bedroom. Never, did I think this was going to be a topic for discussion. Getting ready for bed…our 9-year-old daughter likes to remove her bedding, and spread her blanket and sheet on the floor while watching TV. However, when she does this, it takes up the entire bedroom floor and blocks her 11-year-old brother’s walking path to his loft bed. Therefore, he steps on the blanket… of course, being the brother, he purposely doesn’t attempt to walk around the items.
She immediately screams: “Get off my blanket!” as she’s pulling it onto her bed.
I indicated to her that no blankets should be on the floor. They should remain on the bed. Stop putting it on the floor. She proceeds to over-talk me and 
state, “In my world, it is supposed to go on the floor.” Overly emphasizing the word ‘my.’
To which I proceeded to explain that it was in fact, OUR world, and not HER world because we share the same living space. Blankets on the floor will get stepped on…make sure they are on the bed.
As I was talking, she completely ignored me and not allowing me to finish boldly states,
“
Well, in ‘MY’ world… (she adds air quotes)…my blankets are on the floor and not to be stepped on.”
I walked out of the room, giving her a thumbs up…Good luck with that, honey.
Flip Flops Every day 
aren’t kids wonderful. just wait. they will be teenagers soon.

Jim, we are warned all the time, as people get to know my daughter. She is sweet when she wants to be, and ohhhh so evil in a flash. 🙂 I think she must be Dr. Evil’s off spring and not ours. They all say, hmmm. She is certainly going to be interesting as a teen. Or… you’re going to be in trouble in a few years. (awesome!) She’ll only be 10 in December.
She’s passionate about “her” world, I guess.

You know, I thought about being temporarily “evil” and stomping/jumping on her blankets- just for the heck of it… but she’d have the last laugh, because there’s probably Legos hidden underneath to cause injury. 🙂

Next time she asks for something, tell her to find it in “her” world.

I tell my son he can live in his world just as he pleases, as soon as he moves his world out of MY house.

That’s right. I had to move to get my OWN world that was not over-powered by my mother. Why should it be any different for these little buggers.

My aunt recently confided to me that she wanted to throttle her older son since he kept complaining about the younger one breathing ‘HIS’ air on “purpose”. Kids sound really interesting 😉

HAHAHAHA! Yes…this sounds like something my children would say. Or that I pumped “poison” into the air…or making it stinky on purpose. I was blamed for the neighbor’s cooking yesterday. “Ack, Mom! What is that SMELL?”

Hahahaha! Just blame all the smells yours or other, on the dog. That’s what I usually do. It can be a bit embarrassing if the dog isn’t even in the vicinity so always ALWAYS remember to check first. 😉 These lessons are what they should be teaching in school rather than algebra that we never use in life!

She bossy-pants for sure. The more she complains, the more we’ll purposely stomp on her things (without causing injury to ourselves)

Yes, it is a fine line we families have to walk, when we’re forced to walk on a daughters blanky for her own good. But, she’ll thank us for it later… we hope? 😀
