I used to think it was such a silly thing when my mom would say;
"Get off my bed! I just made it up!"
Let me just say - I've caught myself saying that on more than one occasion.
This morning the above scenario was the case.
Except my little negotiator of a daughter had a very interesting and different line of thought than I expected.
She says to me:
Ok mommy, I will get off.
Let me get my juice.
You don't want my juice to leak
out on the bed, do you?
Let me get my juice.
You don't want my juice to leak
out on the bed, do you?
I leave the room for about 5 minutes.
I come back to find her still on the bed. After scolding her, she throws her little arms around me, gives me what she and her daddy call a pouty kiss (with the bottom lip folded outward) and proceeds to say:
Mommy, I just love you so much.
Actually, I love you and daddy
and my princess dress and Hutch
and the bed and Super Why.
Now can I just SIT on the bed?

I answer no and leave the room again.
I come back and she's STILL on that bed. I got stern with her, told her to get down or I was going to get the spanking stick.
She says to me:
Oh, mommy, that spanking
stick just hurts me.
I tell you this, I will play here
and when I get done,
I will fix the pillows and then
"eberbodys" happy.
Right? Ok, mommy? Ok? That Ok?
stick just hurts me.
I tell you this, I will play here
and when I get done,
I will fix the pillows and then
"eberbodys" happy.
Right? Ok, mommy? Ok? That Ok?
Is it bad parenting that I laughed at her, didn't spank her, but did pick her up and make her get down for good?
Should I even care that she's on my bed? She IS the most well behaved kid EVER!
All joking aside - I do NOT want to breed this kind of child. Nor do I think this kind of mindset is ok. Especially in a child. However, it's hard to deal with - because she negotiates at ALL times. I'd end up spanking her all day long. Which, now that I'm typing that, might not be a bad thing. It would probably only last a day or so.
She's just so stinkin cute and funny. And quite the negotiator. You name it - she negotiates. She got it from her lawyer father. I assure you.
