Spending a whole day with my married friends and their five year old daughter left me feeling like a typhoon victim. The child was not gifted with the ability to sit still for more than two seconds.
It starts with “Honey, behave,” followed by “Sweetie, please stop” and usually ends with “If you do not do exactly as Mama says, I will stop talking to you. I mean it!” obviously, early weak warnings have no effect on the little girl and the mom ends up ignoring her child as promised. The result is magical: her daughter stops, runs toward her mom, gives her a big hug and promises never to disobey her again. At this, the mom returns the hug and everything is back to normal. At least until the girl starts misbehaving again.
hehe, I did that to my son sometimes when he was little.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the linky love, sweetie. Happy weekend!
