@canusernamebemyusername Seriously… having a beach so close was great up until now 😅😅😅😅 If she’s just going to try walk herself over there without telling me. Man I’m screwed 🙃🙃🙃😐😐😐😯😯😯

@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.

@Mamapolo2016 I see what you mean, but she was very aware of what I meant 😂 I said the initial no, then told her why we couldn’t go, then told her we could go tomorrow instead. I even made a suggestion for how else she could have fun where I could watch her. She just isn’t interested in listening to me 😅😅😅😅😭😭😭😭

I do love your daughter’s response 😂😂😂

@Raffiki I'm sure you've had the stranger danger talk.

This is important, as you clearly know.

My daughter was six - long past the terrible two's - when she started throwing tantrums.

I sat her down and informed her that henceforth, when she threw a tantrum, not only would she not get whatever the tantrum was about, she would not get the NEXT thing she asked for, either.

It took about a week before she sat ME down and said, "This tantrum thing isn't working out the way I thought." And tantrum season was over.

From what I understand, your daughter hasn't been parented much before you. It'll take some time. Patience. Love. Good sense. Consistency.

I think you have all those things in abundance.

@Mamapolo2016 BEST COMMENT. Here, 🏆.

@Raffiki that’s part of parenting though.

@Jenny1234 Oh she’s having consequences, just not specifically that.

@Raffiki I didn’t say specifically it should be that one that’s why I wrote «liké» as a suggestion
