Minor Meltdown

So, I'm guessing this is the first of many.

Maybe I'm just so new at this or maybe I'm just really sensitive. Tonight, we had to have a chat about attitudes. We went to some friends of ours for dinner tonight. Before we left, a certain little girl came into the living room wearing 2 jackets, long pants, a short sleeve shirt, and a pair of flip flops. Mind you, the wind was blowing 40 miles per hour and it was 30 degrees outside. So, I ask a certain little girl to put some socks and shoes on.

You would have thought I asked her to pay me a million dollars all in pennies!

We get to our friends house and a certain girl is sulking. She barely gets out of the car. She keeps her head down, hair all in her face. (THIS IS MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE!) Robert ask her if she is okay and she says "I'm just sleepy". LIE LIE LIE !

We get inside, and she is a new creature. Happy and smiling, until Robert or I speak to her and its like we are just idiots. I really could go on and on, but to sum it up, we got a t t i t u d e ALL night.

What do we do???!!?!?!?!

We get home, she B lines it to the bed like we are just going to let it go. Not happening princess! I tell her that first and foremost NO MATTER WHAT SHE DOES we aren't going to do three things: 1- We are not going to spank her and 2-We are not going to give her back and 3-We will never, ever stop loving her.

In my mind, that should solve it all. Silly me... She just looks down and continues to sulk. So, I tuck her in, kiss her face, hug her neck and put her in bed.

Pray for us. I'm sure this is one of many.
