Yeah we've had the discussion about lying, the discussion about seat belts and safety, and breaking the law. I often let her go without socks. This particular morning she didn't want to wear sandals and she wanted the socks on, just wanted me to do it. Everything I said was in a neutral tone so that it wasn't like she was controlling me by making me angry. I've also done the - I'm leaving, see ya - method. She can stay here as long as there is an adult here. She has that choice. She chooses to come with me every time unless she's at a friends house. In this case her friends were still sleeping. I also was attempting to keep things quiet because hubby was still sleeping.
Is this just a phase that all kids hit a whiny stage? It's so CONSTANT that I'm weary of it. Tired of fighting it and all.
