Re: Marina and Mia

  • Hey there!  Happy New Year!  Sorry I didn't reply.  Yes, I got your email.  Jos has been better at bed time, but otherwise is very demanding.  I think I've figured out the "being good" means doing good deeds as to being consistantly good all the time.  She's still whiney and demanding...for instance she ate the last 2 cheese & crackers yesterday at the park, and insisted we leave to go to the store right away to buy more.  It's bad enough she knows that we "can" buy stuff at the store.  Ai!  LOL!

    Thanks for checking in.  Are you at work today?

  • I got your message and wrote back.  Oh, I am so nervous about this whole thing.  :)
  • Hey Mia ... just set reasonable expectations and don't give in.  It will get better ... it may never be 100% and it takes time but it will be better.  I have a little one at school I call "the negotiator."  She is SO going to be an attorney (I tell her parents to start saving now).  With that also comes the demanding ... she will tell us what to do.  We look at her and tell her that it's not nice to speak like that and when she can ASK nicely then we'll answer her (doesn't always mean she gets a yes answer).

    I love when kids tell me "we can go to Target and buy more!"  Cracks me up!!

    When she does that just tell her "Jos, we are not going right now, but the next time Mommy goes to the store she will get more."  That way she knows you are doing what she wants but she's not getting her way by being demanding.


    Nope, not at work today ... closed the school today! :)  I do get my work email at home though.
