Li'l stinker, once she calmed down, she actually said, "I'm sorry, Mommie" on her own. No one told her to say it. I hate when they make it hard to be mad at them.

 

[snapppyd]

No way you can be mad when she apologizes on her own like that. What a little cutie

I used to hate when I couldn't keep a straight face. As a parent, what they did was wrong, but as a human being, what they did was dang funny.

More than once, I had to leave the room to compose myself.

Oh, I have a story (don't I always)

My mom was visiting and DD and I were playing a board game. I think she was about 4. Anyway, I'm beating her and she's getting more and more angry and frustrated. Finally, she burst. She reached over and smacked me across the face. My mother, who DD had never seen mad was flabbergasted. She said to DD, "Don't you ever hit MY daughter again. Go to your room." As soon as my DD ran to her room I burst out My mother was even more shocked that I was laughing. Then I got in trouble because my mother was saying, "What's wrong with you? I don't think it's funny?" and I just couldn't stop I said, "Wow, how PO'd do you think she had to be to smack me in the face?" I finally got myself together, stopped laughing and went in and talked with DD. She looked like Dead Man Walking when I walked in the room. She was punished and had to apologize. I also told her I would not play games with her until she learned to lose as well as she knew how to win. I also told her it was a good thing she learned this lesson with me, because another kid probably would have smacked her right back. I still laugh at the look on her face when she hit me, but her face after she did was even funnier. FTR, it's only happened that one time. I told her if it ever happened again, I smack her right back. I wouldn't, but I think it's okay to keep your kids off kilter. I let her wonder just how much is talk and how much is actually a possibility.

One of my favorites, DD4 was 2 1/2. She threw a bowl and broke it. I asked her why she threw it. No answer. "If you don't tell me why, you're in big trouble!" She looked me in the eye and said, "why." I had to send her out of the room so she wouldn't see me laugh. I mean she DID tell me "why."

When my one niece was little she had a problem with biting her older sister.

My BIL finally had enough and punished her.

She looked at him and said "Why are YOU mad I didn't bite YOU!"

DS28 and I still laugh over this one. The boys had done something wrong, probably fighting with one another, but their punishment was that they had to pull weeds in the backyard flower bed. I gave them each a section, far away from one another. I learned that day that you can't make a kid do anything that they are truly determined not to do. The older two boys got right with the weed pulling, the youngest one wasn't about to do it. He was probably in the 3rd grade, not that small. Anyway, he was hanging onto the porch post for dear life and I could not get him off of it and drag him across the yard to pull those weeds. Oh trust me, I tried. He was wrapped on that pole like a koala bear on a stick of bamboo. Not budging.

I finally couldn't resist the laughing. I ended up telling the other 2 they didn't have to pull the weeds either.

Good morning!

TGIF!!!!!

I was glancing through the posts, not really reading them fully, and just saw that you were beating your daughter! OMG!!! No, you were beating her AT a board game.... big sigh of relief... it's dangerous to sleep and read!

Wow, can you imagine the reputation that preceeds me, just by people only reading partial statement -- just like me other tag (today's not your day to eat, maybe tomorrow).

 

[Pakey]

PK, maybe we need to take up a collection to pay for some abuse counseling for you and your daughter. I read your post yesterday but still had a sharp intake of breath when I read your "quoted post" this morning.

It would be great that today is Friday if I didn't have to work tomorrow. I'm too old to work these kind of hours anymore.

Ya know, it's almost ok that I have no life, but it must be contagious -- my things are starting to have no life at all either. Last weekend, my oven died, and it cost me $160 to fix it. Today, my son is in the school variety show, and my camera died this morning. I have another (actually better) camera, but that one needs repairs -- it's usable sort of -- doesn't focus correctly at certain distances. There's no hope! Maybe I can find time this afternoon to run over to Sears and get a replacement (we have the extended warranty on it, but I'll be really mad if they say they send it out for repairs instead of replacing it).

Broken cameras are the worst! Good luck!

While I was making lunch, DD2 used the markers the other kids had out to change the color of the carpet. Apparently, she doesn't like boring beige.
