Today I could've taken full advantage of the state's safe haven law and dropped her off at the nearest Police Precinct. What am I going to do with my daughter? She is misbehaving so badly. She has anger managemente issues and tantrums in stores and restaurants. She has taken to hitting now. And if she can't reach me to hit me then she will try to hit whatever is in her reach, like the couch armrest. I have tried pinning her arms down or hitting her hand and saying, "Don't hit." But she is so unfazed. I really dislike unruly children. I know many unruly children and I always blame the parents. So now I am in this situation where I am constantly disciplining or nagging because I don't want my daughter to be labeled as unruly. I want people to like my daughter. Does this make sense? When I was growing up I was always the 'good girl' (still am, btw) and my cousin, three years older, was the 'unruly' one. She was the one that no one ever wanted to babysit. And it was so obvious, peoples distaste for her and her mother, for that matter. How sad is that?
In all fairness, the entire day wasn't that bad. She had her moments when she was cute. Like how she tries to dress herself. She is pretty good. She can get one of her feet through one pant leg but then she'll put the other leg in the same side. She has a favorite show too. It's Hi-5 and she says Hi-5 as soon as the TV goes on. She'll say it over and over and over again. And I have seen her stand in the living room, unblinking, for about 45 minutes. Isn't that amazing!
Good news...my parents bought her a convertible car seat. We got the Triumph Advance in black ice. It is very nice and it looks so comfortable. No fair, I wish I could sit in that thing. I may bring it into the fire department to see if it was installed correctly, but it'll have to be on Aixah's good day--I wouldn't want to accidentally drop her off and make a run for it, you know?
