If you don't remember that's strong willed wonder. My husband had to go away for work today through Wednesday. There is a A LOT of bedtime drama that goes along with her so my husband who is SO freaking calm and patient does bedtime. Did I mention I have MS and sleep is really important for me and how I feel? I am DREADING doing everything myself with no assistance.
It means I have to take charge, pull up the big girl pants, and be authoritative. I cannot let anything slide because if I do she walks all over me. She KNOWS I'm the weak link. She knows she can run faster than me and I think she's stronger than me. She might even be smarter than me although she only has the 3 year old education.
I admit I run the household, but I let my husband do the mean parent stuff with her because I find it physically and mentally exhausting. Last week she put her hand on her little 3 year old hip and told me off. Saying that when she's older I won't be able to interrupt her and tell her what to do. You see I do terrible things like not letting her bully me and not letting her have unnutritious food...time out and punish if she steals candy or junk food, time out if she hit/kicks/punches me, force her to wear stockings or stretch pants in the colder weather and a t-shirt under her favorite short sleeved dress. Or god forbid make her brush her teeth and try to comb her hair.
She won't go got bed easily and it's alway a fight so I know that's what I have to look forward to for the next 3 night :-(.
Post infertility, adoption, a health condition, and living the best life possible
