Help!!!!!!!! my kids are bad

[mommyshome]

I found my kids trying to light my house on fire yesterday.  My daughters a 5 and 8. I can't believe that they would think that this was ok. What the F am I doing wrong here? They know not to play with F**king fire.

To make it worse they were burning things in a pile of leaves right in the corner of our back porch steps and the siding of our home.

Our place is backed into the woods so  leaves year round collect right there. We rake leaves yearly and so I haven't raked in a couple of weeks. It's freaken August I don't want to rake the freaken leaves.

 My kids should know better than to catch our house on fire. I want to kill them. I was so pissed off that we had dinner in silence. I didn't say anything to them except for 'finish your plates' and they did. Then I sent them to bed.........it was 6pm.

I took all of their toys out of the rooms. If they want to know what it is like to have everything they own destroyed than I will show them.

Just last week I found out that they had befriended a homeless couple and they had been going to them giving them water, behind my back. Talking to strangers and lying to me about it.

What the hell am I doing wrong here? They just got off being grounded to the yard from that. I told them they would have to earn the privilege of riding there bikes to friends houses. I let them off on Saturday We spent the weekend at a lake cabin in the Poconos. We are home for one Freaken day and they start of fire next to our house.

I don't know what to do. I am seriously thinking of telling my 8 year old, no Girls Scout Camp.

There were 5 kids out there. One of them was 10 years old and no one told. They all thought that this was harmless fun.
