[quote=Anonymous]I think this is an age thing too. I have a 10 month old and an almost 6 year old and the difference is striking. I think honestly that it's because a baby or toddler can't really choose to disobey, dawdle, ignore, etc, and we know that...but an older kid can. I find my harshness comes out most when we are short on time and i don't want to discuss and wheedle and persuade my kid that he should WANT to change his underwear someday, i want him to just change the damn underwear NOW. You'd think with DL our life would be less hurried, but since my husband and I are trying to split work/childcare shifts we just literally never get help or a break, and we still have to log on for meetings, classes, etc., at specific times. So i can SEE what the trigger is for me but I haven't found a solution yet. Willing to take advice.[/quote]
