Motivation can be negative in exactly the way negative numbers are laid out on a timeline. It's not so much that my motivation is very very low like on a thermometer; it's pulling like hell in the opposite direction.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What on earth made her think you would give her candy for breakfast in the first place?
Hey, you don't ask, you don't get!
Dylan has been demanding bagels at every meal all week. Do we ever have bagels except Saturday or Sunday mornings? No.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

She is in a stage where she really thinks she can have anything she wants.
Ah. OK. I'm sure I passed through such a stage, but my memories were mercifully blurred. I guess time and experience will take care of it, but it sounds like it'll be rough on you in the mean time.
Oh, well. I'm off to run a check to the bank and then pick up some lunch. Hey, maybe it'll be candy! (It probably won't be candy.)

My current food project is to start bringing my lunch to work. At about $8 a pop, I'm spending close to $2k/year on workday lunches, which is completely fucking insane. I could buy a LAPTOP EVERY YEAR for what I'm spending on lunch!
So my plan is to transfer $8 into savings every time I bring lunch to work and hopefully seeing the results on paper like that will keep me motivated.

oh Jessica that is an excellent plan. I may start transferring $5 over each day I bring mine and then use that balance to make an extra credit card payment each month. good times.

There are a lot of days I live off the land at work. I have some pretzels or a bagel for lunch (there's often a supply of bagels in the break room, I don't know why). Lunch for $0.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think I'll introduce her to Nutella on whole grain toast. That way she'll THINK she's getting chocolate for breakfast.

Liv's choice for dinner would be spaghetti every. single. day.
She thinks she can wear me down. Whatever.
