I never realized how difficult it is to teach respect.
Little Man "stole" my slippers tonight and hid them in my bedroom. He told me I couldn't have them back.
Who's older?
"I am"
Nice try. Who's bigger?
"I am"
Nice try. Who's stronger?
"Daddy"
Ok. I'll give you that one but you child are neither old enough, big enough, nor strong enough to say no to your mother.
"NOOO WAAAAY!" he screamed right in my face.
Landon came home from school yesterday and wanted to eat dinner at the BX. When we said that we were staying home, he started acting mean and whiny. I told him he could go upstairs to his room if he was going to act that way and could rejoin the family once he was ready to be happy. He went upstairs and started screeching at the top of his lungs and throwing his shoes and hat down the stairs. Seriously, the preschool age is not for the weak!
