Yeah, you're right, there. I kind of mistyped there. The usually refers, not to her NOT getting her way, rather, it refers to me being able to stay relatively calm, IN SPITE of her "rebelling." She rarely, if ever, really gets her way, ultimately, I think. There's always a punishment of some sort.
I know I'm not a great parent...probably had kiddo a bit too early. Glad she's here, and when she's in a decent mood, she's just an absolute joy to be around. I don't like kids that much, but my own is a jewel. I just want her to behave!
