Putting my foot down

Well I put my foot down last night around here.  I told my Niece that she had to put in at least 3 apps in for today.  With that being said around here she gave me the look oh here we go.  Well I figure if the girl is working it will keep her out of trouble also.  One of the neighbors and I were talking about it all and she was like if she starts working I started laughing she was like oh ok Mommy kicked in.  That is our way of ok now I see what you were thinking about a job.  Pluss she asked me if I knew about alot of things I said yes I did and look on who raised her for the past almost 13 years also.  I got told you are right on that one and now I do not wander why she went crazy after she got out of Nancy Hammond's grip at all.  So either way in a way I am trying to keep my Niece out of trouble and a pay check never hurt neither as a teen.  Well I know that I even filled out one and who knows about myself.  Since I am going to the doctors today around here I will ask him today if I can go back part time even.  With my Niece around here with the staying up late and hanging out with some people she got mad when school started again so I looked at her and said that you can start work and then there is other things you can do also for school.  I know not alot of her friends do not work.  I think it is sad really that you need work Permits if you are under the age of 18 here in NY State.  It is a money maker for NY State.  So now to hope that I can get her to say hey I need to work around here and bring in some money also.  Then this way she can say that I have to work and get some money rolling in so I do not have to depend on nobody around here.  Also my Niece found out a few other things that are going down while she was at it yesterday.  Even her other aunt looked at her and said what about Cricket did she know and our Niece said she found out about the time I did within a couple of weeks when it was way to late also.  Well after that I have not got blamed for it because the girls other aunt thought she knew also just like I figured.  Her other aunt knew way before I did also.  Well that set off my Niece again and she told her other aunt that it was just one more thing that Nancy did to her that she can't stand again for.  Then she explained to her other aunt that I had to teach her how to fill out an app also since her grandmother never bothered to teach her at all.  So I am wandering if you need a work permit to babysit also with the certificate.  Now I am thinking and will say something to my Niece this afternoon about it all.  Well since Nancy wants to play eye for an eye guess what she has it now and it just took some thinking around here about it.  Also now with all that I can say that the household has went officially cheaper around here while we are at it all.  So now the T.V. is off at about 10 and I may change it again around the place also.  The whole thing is that I am trying to cut back where I can and go from there again for the place.  If and when we all move here it will be even worse on the cheap route of things.  With my Niece not realizeing that 4:30 am comes very early and that is with one job she is going to for the day.  With that being said I will be up along with her around here.  So eather way there will be alot going down around here next week and some how we will all make it around the household.  Also I will be going that much cheaper when the girl goes to work also.  I have no choice in the matter at this point in time.  With some things going down around here there are alot of things that need to be done and it is not getting there as of yet.  So I will see what I can do around here after I get home from the doctors today.  So lets see what the day brings and I will be back around later on.
