Don't dance too long! I need my programs to get here!
*dances anyway* :P
XD; Yeah, I know the girls I used to babysit? ugh. very VERY spoiled... mom would kind of "buy things" to appease them. So, when mom would leave me money and say "Take them to eat, and take them shopping." their dad was always suprised I still came home with 20$ at the end of the night most nights. When asked why? "They didn't behave well enough to constitute buying them anything." And considering they were old enough to know better... lets just say Dad REALLY REALLY liked that. Mom had to get used to it... but I'm just glad they had one person tell them no in their lives. I think it's going to be hard enough as it is for the younger one (she's not used to not getting her way). The eldest, luckily, caught on rather quick. XD but... I think that's because I was a big role model in her life at a young age. Wonder how those two are doing now. One went to NYC for school the younger? I'm... not completely sure?
Good for you. There's way too many young people out there who have the 'entitlement' syndrome these days, and they wonder why they aren't getting hired for that six-figure job. Kids need to hear the word 'no' once in a while. It's motivating.
Nah, Auntie Roxy has her own methods of getting rid of tantrums (depending on the situation).
