Frustrated

Even though I am getting used to the girls, I am still very easily frustrated by them. Perhaps it's just a lesson in patience that I need, or maybe it's them, I don't know but this week has been horrible with the girls and great otherwise. I am enjoying my surroundings learning French and meeting people.
The girls on the other hand have been quite difficult. The grandparents are still here (they leave on Sunday) and the girls are horribly rude to them which I find inexcusable. I frankly don't want to see the grandparents go, they make my job a lot easier. It means I can go earlier because they are there and the grandma cooks everything so I don't have to do that, not that I would be cooking E does that when the grandma isn't there but things are just smoother because they are always around if I need backup.
The girls are supposed to finish everything on their plates for meals but they don't and this has become a thing of constant tension between us. They eat what they want and talk in French while I constantly remind them to keep eating. Then they switch to English to tell me no they won't and then get up and leave the table...this is really frustrating.

Some days I wonder what I was thinking


*UPDATE*
This afternoon was better. I have to keep reminding myself that these are kids I am dealing with here, be patient :)

Also Alex gets here Strasbourg in about 2 hours!!!!
