dd can be really helpful and has asked to do ironing and a whole list of other household chores, which can't stand...but tonight after her bath 2 bottles of that lovely Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner were nearly empty (bubblebath me thinks)...she said it's just what she does...can't help thinking she is trying to smell nice but also being a little naughty, said I'll cancel horseriding, she said okay mummy...yikes...who do you discipline a child when you're running out of tactics...smacking (done it, hate it and it never works anyway, shouting also, pocket money withdrawal...no effect)....wonder if anyone else has had this experience as am damned if I know the answer...
