The three hour stand-off
Posted on August 18, 2009 - Filed Under Parenting
Our three year old had a three hour stand-off with us on Saturday. Recently, Maggie has been refusing to eat anything healthy so I decided on Saturday morning I would make her yummy oatmeal with fruit and pink sprinkles. Of course, Maggie refused to eat it so we told her she couldn’t leave her chair until she ate her breakfast. She spent the next three hours at the kitchen table entertaining herself and baby Wyatt. It wasn’t until Daddy threatened the ultimate punishment, a spanking, that she finally finished the fruity oatmeal with pink sprinkles. Ridiculous!
