I do not know if it is my upbringing or my characteristics that make me this way. Throughout my life, I thought that the first priority in your life is your health, sleep, diet, hygiene and manners. You got to eat first, have enough sleep, take care of your personal hygiene and manners before you proceed to do the things that you want or like to do. You do not go around the house doing the things you want to do without first brushing your teeth and washing your face and having your breakfast, right?
Then, why do I get to live with people who do just that? Eating and sleeping and personal hygiene is not even in the top three priority? The main priorities are play, play and play, TV and computers, and play, play and play? How do you keep playing if you do not have enough sleep? How do you keep playing if you do not have food to fuel your energy? How do you keep on playing if your breath and body smell? To think that the only thing that motivate them to take care of their personal hygiene is when they think that the monster (a.k.a. mommy) will not let them play if they do not first complete their 'tasks'!
I have done all I can to make them realize the importance of my priority over theirs. I have scolded, shouted, reminded, gave advice, gave scientific explanations, threatened, ignored, everything that you can think of. All to no avail. What can I do now? Arrggh!
I am beyond caring now. I have to go back into my own small shell and ignore everything. The more I care the more I feel frustrated.
Gotta see nothing, hear nothing, do nothing....
