... At my 3 year old? Find myself doing it more and more.
Is this normal?
My daughter is rather spirited and she doesn't mean any harm (most of the time!) but she really tries my patience!
Me: "time to brush your teeth"
Her: "I can do it all by myself"
Me: "okay, you have a go first and then I'll do it"
Her: "mummy, you have to brush your teeth like this ... Mummy, at preschool we have a new wendyhouse and [blah blah]"
Me: "that sounds lovely, now let's brush your teeth"
Her: "I know, I'll be a dragon and you be a princess and .."
Me: "we can play tomorrow, it's time to brush your teeth now, it's late"
Her: "just be happy mummy"
Me: "I am happy, but we need to brush your teeth and go to bed now"
Her: "why?"
Repeat every meal time/bed time/getting dressed/getting in the car etc etc.
Cue Mummy losing her temper in a big way.
