Don't you just love it when you're getting frustrated and losing your cool and your kids do something just to snap you back into reality and you see just how you're acting.

DD1 is 2.5 so as you can imagine can be a bit challenging sometimes but she's mostly a pretty great kid I must say, lol. But lately just having to ask her a million times to do anything is so frustrating.

A couple of days ago she was tormenting the dog and I was feeding DD2 so couldn't really get up and stop her but was trying to tell her to stop it. She was just ignoring me and after about the 1000th time I snapped and yelled Not nice. But all DD did was look at me, get a frown on her face, and yell right back at me 'NO MUMMY, I WANT TO!!!!!!!'

I couldn't help it then, I started laughing. She was acting just like I did and I could see what I was doing. All I was teaching her was to yell to get your point across. So thanks DD for the reality check
