LMAO. You gotta give her humor points, right? I like the idea of making them come up with it, and your reasoning makes total sense. Good luck ;)

WOW, this was great. I have 3 boys (13, 11 and 4) and your post articulates what I’ve been feeling but unable to put my finger on.

And BTW, I am from near Penna. Dutch country too. But I got out. :-)

It’s all about the options presented. You offered her smack or no smack: what did you think she would choose? What would you choose? (Wait, don’t answer that.)

Next time, make one of these offers:

Do you want to come in the house, or should I tie you to the tree in the front yard so I know you’re safe?

Do you want to come in the house, or do you want to go get a needle from the doctor?

Do you want to come in the house now, or do you want to watch me dismember your dolls one appendage every minute until you decide it’s time?

It’s all about the options presented.
