WWYD?
My DD is 2, she has been in time out for 2 hours (yep thats hours). She was put in time out for hitting and I've been going to her every 2 minutes (according to egg timer) and explaining to her why she is there and asking her to say sorry. She knows what sorry means and usually says it happily then its back to normal.
Today my requests for a sorry are met with a point-blank "no". Or I'm laughed at...........
I feel like I can't back down and let her off the step because she will only learn that I eventually give up and she doesnt have to apologise for her actions. She isn't distressed, just sitting there humming to herself.
WWYD? I mean, I know she is stubborn, but this is riduculous! Her tea is sitting her getting cold.
FWIW, I do know that I'm a rubbish mum!
