I actually took away...OMG, I feel your pain...lol. I actually took away my youngest one's birthday when she was 3, turning into 4. My little one was the most stubborn, infuriating, obstinate willful child I had ever met. If I told her not to do something, she would stare, smile and then do it. Never in front of the world, of course, just the select few of us who loved her the most. <BR/><BR/>The phrase that paid for me was "I'd rather you didn't...." This gave her the feeling of power and the chance to do what I wanted without losing fact. Of course, she is now a spoiled 31 year old.<BR/><BR/>So make the cake for yourself for having survived! and know that you will never be bored again.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727506305170439878noreply@blogger.com
