Yesterday DD1 was behaving in a really silly way and not doing as she had been asked.
I gave her a warning and then told her that if she carried on she would not be allowed to meet up with her friends at the pool after school today. She carried on and i told her that she was not going to be going swimming etc etc. I don't think she thought i was going to go through with it but i have
When we got home this afternoon she got her swimming things and asked if i could drop her off and i reminded her that she would not be going because of her behaviour yesterday. She's been crying and sulking on the sofa telling me what an awful mummy i am etc for about 20 mins now. Atleast she won't be doing it again any time soon!!

I don't think IABU as she knew what the consequence would be yesterday.

Am I BU?

Steathsquiggle - so yours do the bath-winding-up thing, too? I'm glad we're not the only ones who use the shower as a punishment!

LadyHooHa - DD(2.5) is actually quite happy either way, but DS(6.5) begs and pleads to be allowed to have a bath
