Who's the Boss

Brilliant MILF is back. I took a much needed six-week hiatus from school and this blog. I’m sorry to have left you. Yes, I missed you, but boy did I need it!

If you recall, San Francisco moved in at the beginning of August. Last semester was pretty stressful for us just trying to get him acclimated to being around a kid all the time, me trying to get my schedule on point and Snotface trying to figure out how to get over on the both of us.

By get over on the both of us, I really mean San Francisco. He works from home for the most part, but technically, he’s not working anyhow. That said, he is the one home most of the time. He tries, he does, I see it. Snotface though, she is pretty dang good.

Here’s how this transpires …… I send Snotface outside to get her outta my hair so I can think. While she’s out I need to go to the grocery store and I instruct San Francisco to instruct Snotface to take a shower as soon as she gets home, which should be and is in 20 minutes. I return an hour and a half later to find an un-showered Snotface is sitting on the couch reading her book for school and San Francisco at his usual spot at the kitchen table on the internet.

I flash ‘the look’ at him and holler to her:

“Were you told to take a shower?”

I have to ask this because there is a chance that he didn’t say anything and then it is not her fault. She however was not off the hook.

“I told her to,” he chimes in, “and she said you would want her to get her homework done first.”

“What did I tell you?” It’s a rhetorical question. I know what I said, so I quickly turn to her. “Get in the shower!”

She jumps. That’s called Mommy Power.

“We need to have a more united front.” San Francisco dares to tell me.

“Are you serious?” I chuckle.

“She can’t be able to use us against each other,” for some reason he goes on, “She knows how to work you already, and she sees that she can’t get over on me.”

I leave it at:

“If I tell you she has to do something that means she does that and nothing else, understand?”

I proceed to make dinner.
