Who's really in charge...

Well, you've heard stories of Monster before, so we know its not me.... but there's now a third female in the house: my mother.

I warned her. Actually I warned them both. I warned my mother that Monster is poorly behaved and sometimes bites (totally my fault - I get that - however, I also get that I'm not in charge) And I warned Monster that my mother was no pushover and would teach her some manners quite quickly.

I was right on both counts.

Monster has learnt something I have known all along: my mother reigns supreme... and it took less than an hour with one small conversation. No raised voices and no raised hands.

Almost witchlike really....
