Ben read aloud a book for his daily reading this morning. It was about two kids who’s dad was late picking them up from school. A stranger tried to pick them up in a setup that was obvious to an adult to be a kidnapping but the kids were brave and told her, “No.” Then they ran inside. They told the principal that it was hard to tell a grown up “no”.
Maddie then offered her unsolicited two sense, “Yeah, but it’s NEVER hard to say “no” to your mom or dad! See, watch. ‘NO Mom!!’ See, it’s easy.” Great. The stellar parenting we are doing around here is obviously not working on her. To be clear, she says no all the time. It’s an issue we’re working through. Glad to know where she officially stands on the issue and that she’s so secure in the fact that open rebellion is a-okay. Not sure what to do about it, but at least I’ve been given notice now.
