A Rough Parenting Day

Little Girl had a rough day. Some things she had been doing last week and today caught up to her. Her initial response was to lie about it.

She put us in a box. We had to do something about it. We couldn't let another day go by without meting out consequences for her.

I think Hubby and I made some good parenting choices, talking to Little Girl very matter-of-fact about what she did and what we had to do, no raised voices.

I'm just so sad for Little Girl. I hope she'll truly learn from what she's done.

This song in my head all afternoon seems appropriate. Jars of Clay, "Much Afraid."
