dd is, on the whole, pretty good. But there's one thing she does that's guaranteed to push my buttons (and I know you'll tell me this is where I'm going wrong....) which I can only call cheek - not cheeky in a playful, friendly way, but downright rude, thrusty pouty body langauge and/or giggly-eye-rolling "I really don;t give a shit you're cross with me cos of what I just did". I'm reasonably measured in doling out a mixture of bribes/threats (or punishments/rewards if that's your preferred langauge) and give warnings etc etc. Is this just a 6 year old thing? and how do I stop myself feeling so angry about it? and how do I implement something that will stop it?
