Anyone want a child?
Charlotte is being such a pain in the ass. Yes, I know I am her mother. I know its not really a nice thing to say about your child.
But honestly if she could be ANY MORE STUBBORN she would win some sort of Emmy Award.
Our days are turning into:
me: Charlotte, you need to ————-fill in the blank———
her: (she is ignoring)
me: Charlotte, I asked you once already, you need to ————-
her: (she is ignoring)
me: Charlotte, I am not going to ask you again or you are going to get into trouble.
her: I don’t want to. (insert whiny baby voice)
me: Charlotte, you can go to your room till you are going to listen. You have 5 minutes.
her: (she is still ignoring)
me: Charlotte, if I have to carry you into your room, its not going to be nice.
(insert screaming and whining here)
This goes for just about everything in the house period. Brushing teeth, getting ready for school, taking a nap, leaving the house, turning off the TV, taking a bath, walking down an aisle she doesn’t want to go down at the store.
Last night, and I know this is funny, but she called Chris a Vagina. She yelled it in the middle of Walmart when he told her to move while checking out.
“You’re a vagina!”
I about DIED.
When did four turn into fourteen?

(dont say spank her, because I tried that and it doesnt work)
my reaction would have embarrassment, nervousness, and then anger. ha ha. Calling someone a vagina is shocking coming from a 4 year old and then again, they are just kids reacting ha ha.
Guess it’s time to take some things away until she can start listening and behaving lol
My son always finds ways to embarrass me, but luckily none have ever been that good. Except maybe one time at the grocery store. I love it though and would probably have busted out in laughter.
I wish I could offer you some sort of advise, but I am pretty sure my child is made of pure evil lately and nothing has worked thus far.
I show can relate my son is 3 and such a little know it all he embarrasses the crap out of me. I am always telling the hubby its so you he picked that up from. Sadly my son is my diva of the house. I think I have tried everything too if you do find the answer please share!
OMG I am sorry to laugh, but that really is wicked funny! I mean, if it was my kid then I would be sooo mad and mortified, but since my daughter only knows about ‘boobies’ this is totally funny!
Sorry, I don’t have any good parenting tips, but thank you for the laugh!
That’s frustrating, but honestly, she waits so long because she knows she can. You tell her once, then there’s a consequence. That’s what I’ve had to do with my 8yo since he was about her age. At first we played the time out game for 2 hours until he FINALLY cleaned up his toys one day. It took him awhile to get it through his thick skull that it was time out or clean up the toys period. There were no other alternatives. Maybe I’m just a hardass.
wow, that is really really funny. but I imagine very frustrating. I would have pretty much died too! did the store clerk say anything? or even crack a smile? Where’d she hear the word? Did you explain to her what it is? does she already know? that really gave me a giggle thanks for sharing.
Lol. I don’t mean to laugh. Yes, I do. I find this so funny. Everytime I look at the title of this post I chuckle. I can just imagine her little voice when she said it AND imagine your faces thereafter. Too funny.
Oh—- I am so glad I am done with those days!
Oh girl, I have one of those 7 going on 14 year olds .. she is tough too! Now I can’t believe she really said you’re a vagina in the store, wow! I would have just about died. Good luck, not sure what will work but when you find what works, clue me in please!
How do you get mad at a kid for calling someone a vagina?? That is awesome!
OMG, that is funny that out of all the things she could say she picked that one. I bet wittinesses to it will be telling that story for awhile (you won’t believe what this little girl called her daddy in Walmart LOL).
That is too funny. I mean, it’s not, but hell yes.
OMG that’s waaaay too funny. But I feel your pain! My 3 year old told my hubby to Back Off while she was trick or treating!
