So....my 6 and 12 year old each have Gameboy Advance. The 6 year old comes down and says the 12 year old won't share her games, as they commonly do.
I go upstairs and inquire with her very gently as to why she does no wish to share. After she says "I just don't want to", I say, "Well, they're yours, but I'm surprised with you. You aren't using them, he won't break them, he won't wear them out, so your only motivation is being selfish."
Out of left field, she breaks down into a 15 minute sob fest on everything wrong with her life.
Blink. Blink. Blink. Blink.
After a few hugs, I left her room.
I am moving out until she is 18. I don't think I'll survive the next several years.
