Ok I am getting weary of the smart mouth and I lost it. I warned her twice tonight while getting her ready for bed...."I already went potty..." and then she does this Mimicky singsong repeat of what I just said...So she got spanked hard twice on the bottom.
I really didn't want to be a spanking mom. My mom spanked us a lot, first with her hand, then later with a firemans belt with a brass buckle. I hated that belt and I hated her for using it.
I hope I don't spank her very often. But geesh this child is challenging. I am just feeling like if we let her get away with BS now we are really going to be in for it when she is 13.
I hope she doesn't hate me.

I can relate.... we struggle with this so much... now I say sternly " excuse me" and she rights herself and apologizes. We used hot sauce too... spicy mouth for a sassy mouth.
It's rough and comes and goes
hang in there
Oh, you poor thing. I've never spanked Allie before (well, that's not true, I've swatted her, not the spankings I remember as a kid), but I yell when I'm frustrated. I feel like she doesn't listen until I lose my temper and start yelling. And then she cries and then I feel guilty.
It's hard to be a mommy. They don't come with instructions! Hang in there!
