wife hardends heart-4

[newman7977]

I had my successes dealing with D4 in the past.
That night, I told her that i won't play with her unless she finished her homework. That was the 'punishment'. I did not follow through properly and caved right after 'You are not my Father'.

But seriously, what was 'You are not my Father' all about?
My D4 have never ever said those words to me.

Yep they would say just about anything to get their way...that's just them being kids.

My S4 woke up today and told me "dad I will not be going to school!" He's been having a hard time adjusting going to preschool. I could've just agreed with him because I know he would act out if I say no you are going to school.

But I know what's best for him and he needs to start getting it that he will be going to school everyday. He threw a tantrum. I explained to him that everyone goes to school, his cousins, brother, sister and left him to get ready.

20 mins later he goes to me, "dad are we almost going to school? Is mom gonna pick me up?"

Kids I tell ya--hang in there planet! Stay focus on being the parent, you know what's best for your kids. Grow a thicker skin for those kinds of comments, I'm sure that's not the last.
