[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're in the wrong.  You said that the younger one routinely handles the weekends so the older one can sleep in or have a sleepover.  So, the agreement isn't that the older one handles them every day.  It's that she handles them on weekdays, and she is living up to her promise (and not getting enough sleep as a result).

The younger one was awake (as were you) and in a position to feed the kittens.  There was no need to rouse the default kitten parent here.  Sounds to me like you were grumpy about having to get up and take the cat to be spayed on a weekend morning, so you decided to unnecessarily wake up the daughter who suggested the arrangement in the first place.

Also, your daughter's comment was a little rude, but I can understand why she might feel like you are being insensitive/hypocritical given your highly unusual sleeping pattern.  I am a parent of 3 with a full time job and I am at my desk at 8 after having breakfast with my kids and getting them to school.  My kids' friends' parents are all up early too, as evidenced by the active morning group chats.  Maybe you work evenings or something, but if you don't, you are clearly someone who prioritizes sleep over responsibilities from time to time.  Give the kid a break.  [/quote]

She works 10-4! The poor sausage. [/quote]

I work 7 times per week. [/quote]

You work seven days a week? Did you take the day off to go to the cat appointment?[/quote]
