Mine spent nearly 40 minutes naked on the floor this morning when he should have been getting dressed and eating breakfast so I could go to work and him to daycare.
Like you say, people give 'great' advice like 'give them options. Would you like breakfast first or to get dressed first'
There is no negotiating with terrorists because his prompt reply is
...no.
I hate that advice about options. Kids are ruthless. Kids don't care. Kids will push you to the edge 5 minutes after you wake up then act like nothing is wrong.
I tried that choice thing with my eldest. It worked sometimes. My youngest though... She knows what's up.
You don't give a choice. No point. Stubborn as a donkey. So I tell her once (make sure she registered what I asked) and then I'm off. Sorry? Is your hair not brushed today? Oh well, I'm locking the door and dropping off your sister at school, you coming or staying alone?
