She has been awake from a nap all of an hour and i am feeling a bit cross! She knows how to ask for things and will ask other people, but recently i have begun to find it highly annoying that with me, when she wants something she just sits and stares at me, like i am meant to be a mind reader.
I eventually said to her, what do you want DD? she said juice. I said juice what (teaching her to say please) she said nothing at all. So i said, when you want something you ask for it properly, can i have some juice please, which i know she knows and does with EVERYONE but me! So i go get her some juice, thinking right its no big deal she will grow out of it, must be one of those 'phases'..
She then spots some cake on the side. Again the staring commences. Again i ask her in the end, what do you want dd? she says Cake. I said well ask properly then? she says nothing, so to prompt her i say...can i...and she says can i have some cake. i say of course you can and give her a cake at the table with her juice.
I then went out to hang up the washing only to find for th epast fifteen mins she had been sat watching tv and wasnt even bothering with eating the cake.
kids are weird. especially mine. If she is capable of asking other people for things then i am not wrong to expect her to also ask me for things too am i?
