A little better

[ailbhe]

Emer and I woke up ok, I put on a load of laundry, Emer had a go on the swing, and I hung two wet loads which were waiting, and partway through that Emer started crying. It escalated into yelling and screaming, and lasted 45 minutes. During that time Linnea deliberately wet her pants and then ran into the carpeted area of the house on purpose to defy me. Defiance is something I am in general ok with but this wasn't funny. She chose to do it because I was sitting with Emer who was miserable and Linnea felt this made me unable to discipline her.

She was wrong, but Emer was the one who paid the price.

If anyone else screams at me today I will bite their bottoms.

Kate used to wet herself on purpose to defy me too. Thankfully, Holly doesn't do this, it must be an older sibling thing to grab back attention.
