Middle Boy is doing everything is his power today to pick a fight with me.

EVERYTHING.

I had about had it with him and his stinky attitude.

I am WELL AWARE he cannot leave the house.  WELL AWARE.

Complaining about it and being belligerent...not helpful...not one bit.

I think he is truly working to see what he needs to do to cause himself to leave or to make me prove he is going to be here forever.

This would be so much easier if he would simply trust me.
