No from the mouth of a four year old is expected in their attempting of pushing there limits and my buttons. It still ruffles my feathers when she throws her little tantrum with her leading to explain why she doesn’t want to do it. I feel that I am constantly asking her why I need her to just do what I tell her. Very frustrating for both of us now let’s throw in for fun my eleven year old who love’s to debate why what I am saying makes no sense to her. Either I have forgotten how it is to be young or I have morphed into my mother not remembering how it feels to be young.
Hearing No twice in one morning has leaded me to proclaim again that mom is a dictator and our relationship has very limited Democratic subjects. Merriam-Webster’s definition of a dictator is one holding complete autocratic control. Do I real want to be a dictator of course not what I want on most days is a smooth flow of activities without either child saying no, a debate or a streaking four year old running through the house at bath time. Emotions can run extremely high with three females in the house including a female dog. All very high strung and want things to go their way. Yes life in my house can be very interesting, fun house excluding the clowns at times, and a complete mad house most days.
Until we our all again on the same page that my request need to be followed such things as cleaning bedrooms, bathrooms, completing HW, and bath time need to be followed. I will continue to dictate in what hopeful I feel is a calm voice. Hopefully one day they will see all that I have asked of them is out of love. Also I am so sorry for being a mouth child to my mother payback is killing me in the form of my girls.
