Parenting woes.
That's what I plan to wail about today. This is a warning for people who get bored by these things.
Today was open day at Urvi's school. So it started in the morning. I had to nag her to get her moving, which she was extremely reluctant to do. I had to turn into the terrible and bossy mother, always bullying her:(
This is the tone of most of our days. Me nagging her to do everyday stuff that she has to do like brushing, flushing, bathing, eating, etc she trying her utmost not to do it.
So the situation deteriorates with me turning Hitler and threatening her with dire consequences" IF NOT.......". What ever happened to gently guiding your child to do the right things at the right time? Must be another MYTH
So this afternoon after having administered a whack on the back for intolerable behaviour, I felt like the most despicable parent tyrant.
To modify MY behaviour I made a chart with Urvi's BAD behaviour and Good behaviour written in bold black and red, put two sad faces under the black and advised her that if she got any more sad faces, some privileges would be taken away.
She promptly took a paper wrote MIRA BAD Mners and put 5 sad faces under it, pinned it up and announced all my privileges were gone for the day!
Then, listen to this -this caps it all, I told her that I awas the parent and she Couldn't do a thing to me. Can you believe that? Clear abuse of power.
I need HELP!
