Whatever happened to no means no 😭😭😭😭

I think a disobedient phase has started 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

Kiddo asked to go to the beach this evening. I said no because we have a lot of things to do and I know a beach trip is never under an hour. I don’t have an hour to spare 😅😅😅😐😐😐😐

She didn’t argue and I carried on making dinner. Then I see her from the window walking off towards the beach with her bucket and spade 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲

Help 🙃🙃🙃🙃😅😅😅😅😭😭😭😭

Your little sister is eight, right? She is old enough to obey you when you tell her no. You have to get a bit angry with her. You have to tell her two or three or four REALLY bad things that could happen to her if she runs off to the beach, (or anywhere), without you.

@4meAndyou I let her know I was not happy with her. She seems to think I’m SO dramatic when I tell her things that could go wrong. I told her she could go in the ocean and drown, she rolled her eyes and said “You know I [i]can[/i] swim.” 😳😳😐😐😅😅

Part of the issue is she thinks our new town is super safe and there is no danger at all.

@Raffiki Very good swimmers - very good - drown too.

Not too long ago a young man who was hoping to qualify for the Navy SEALS drowned.
