Listened to my four year old say ((whine)) over and over

“But I want dessert… mama I want dessert… I wannnnnt desserrrrrt”

Even though I told her after her initial request “the answer is no, you didn’t finish your dinner”

Felt like an eternity, I thought she was never going to let it go… wonder where she gets that stubbornness from 🤔🤪

Of course, that's kids for you. Two of mine are like that. They know if they're persistant with bothering people that you'll break and give in. 😉Unless they're with the parent that's stubborn.

@UnholyTranquility I don’t mind my kids having treats, but real food needs to happen first and foremost. She knows that, and she knew she didn’t eat well at dinner haha

She tried asking my husband while I was getting her brother to bed. He said “I think we should wait til mommy comes out” (of course make me the bad guy 😂)

She’s also got a minor cold, so I’m thinking that’s why she wasn’t feeling eating dinner… and her body didn’t need the sugar bomb at the end of the day.

@WaryWitchWanderingAw, hopefully she feels better. Colds are going around like crazy lately. Of course, candy and treats only after food. But to going straight to dad ;). I love the way she thinks.
