We were ...We had a rough day yesterday with Piper. We were at Target getting school supplies and I promised the kids that if they were good they could get a slushie and soft pretzel. Piper was given many warnings of how if she didn't obey she would NOT get her slushie. She didn't obey and she did NOT get a slushie when all the other kids did. It was awful. She was crying and screaming and demanding to get what she wanted. I wanted to give in so bad but I didn't. I hope that she has learned that she will NOT get said promises if she doesn't keep her end of the deal. Parenting sucks!!! and yet I love it!Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06988091714540013158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8244849416661874196.post-52516682657337222682010-07-26T12:35:05.739-04:002010-07-26T12:35:05.739-04:00Not looking forward to melt downs!

It really tests us and shows us what we are made of. I am a "lose your voice because you just screamed so loud" kind of gal when we are having one of those HORRIFIC melt downs (which thankfully is not very often). I'm really proud of you and the way you handled things Michele. You are such a good mom.emlizalmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319718355765912262noreply@blogger.com
