I care because I love you

Monday night Chloe accidentally knocked on her brother, instead of apology she yells and blames on Cavin. I reprimand and punish her of her misbehave. Later I asked her to brush her teeth, bedtime is ready. Being told for several times she doesn’t response at all, like a stone. My hot blood started to boil and told her “You don’t want to listen and follow, I won’t want to care and bother you anymore.”

Then I settle Cavin and went into bedroom without her. Immediately she wailed badly at the living room and started to throw all the couch pillows to the floor. I get mad and whack her with cane and went back to my room. She wailed pitifully and asked MIL to on the bathroom’s light so she can brush her teeth before went in to change her pyjamas.

She sobbed on the pillow and I told her “You want to watch TV, play games, sleep or don’t, eat or not, I won’t want to care or bothering. You can do all things by your own way” She immediately wailed badly again and said “I want to learn. I want to be good girl.”

“Why mommy always tells you to do this and that, cannot do this and that. It’s because mommy care and love you. You still young and can’t plan your things, so mommy helps you and guide you. When you behave well, doing well and praise by people, daddy and mommy are very proud of that. So be a good girl, with good manner, use your ‘magic words’ so we are proud of you.” After I told her these, I gave her a tight hug and kisses.
