Disciplining your child is always hard, but you did the right thing, and it sounds like you handled it very well with calm (whereas I would've probably been screeching...LOL).<BR/><BR/>I hope your week gets better (and Mr. Daddy's car behaves itself!).Wineplzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412881827548705342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215479305770760888.post-60609900623849432012008-09-08T14:30:00.000-04:002008-09-08T14:30:00.000-04:00Bless your heart!

Doesn't make it any easier when you're going through it, though, does it? I like to think of all the times I won't have to go through it in the future...and then make myself a great big drink. That always helps. :) <BR/><BR/>My dear sweet Bee had a meltdown during breakfast because I am a mean mom and made her wear her new sneakers. (Her old ones are broken.) I was so glad today was a work day and then felt guilty.

(Have I mentioned before that she was a VERY trying toddler?) There were moments I didn't know if I was helping or hurting. Was I doing the right thing? Was there something I was missing? Parenting is soooo hard sometimes. <BR/><BR/>The good news??? She has turned into the most sweet, obedient, and sensitive child. Truly. It's just that there is a BIG spirit in there that she had to get a handle on.<BR/><BR/>Keep fighting the good fight. You're a good mom.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07541652110390287076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215479305770760888.post-6301439577453156982008-09-08T10:41:00.000-04:002008-09-08T10:41:00.000-04:00Yikes, sorry to hear about that.

Her mother very calmly took her out of the building, but I was surprised by how many mothers were giving her dirty looks. I said, "We've all been there, haven't we?" and watched as the other mothers relaxed, nodded, smiled. "Boy, haven't we?" said someone. Yeah, I sympathize.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16212526267722423764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215479305770760888.post-72464825600589116522008-09-08T09:27:00.000-04:002008-09-08T09:27:00.000-04:00Oh, it breaks my heart to read that you cried a li...Oh, it breaks my heart to read that you cried a little!
