Arrgghhh. After another morning spent arguing with Small Boy about EVERYTHING, I'm not sure whether to feel infuriated with him or amazed at his defiance. He is the youngest, smallest member of the family and yet he stands his ground, absolutely convinced of the rightness of his position.
I guess it is partly my own fault. Nobody wants their kids to be doormats. Of course we want them to have their own opinions and to have self confidence and self belief etc. etc. But it would be nice for them to do what we ask, when we ask, and at the first time of asking.
Just once.
