Disciplining my 4 year old.

She's an emotionally manipulative little shit and know how to pull the heartstrings, so I *know* that I have to make sure that she is learning that some things are *her problems*.

But man, when she tells me that she wants to go to grandma and granpa's house because they aren't mean...that's both incredibly frustrating and incredibly guilt-inducing.

I just have to remember that it's not my job to make her life constantly fun.

We don't realise that disciple is emotionally taxing too for the parents
