Earlier this evening, I walked into the living room to find my 7 year old standing on the back of the couch. I could not believe what I was seeing. I simply pointed to her bedroom door and she slid down the back of the couch. She began whimpering. She went to her room.
After being in time out for about 15 minutes, I began my tirade. I was just so disappointed that she would do something like that...we always talk about how we need to take care of our things. I talked to Hubby, who is at work, and he said that he found her doing the same thing a few days earlier. ): So she knew that she was not supposed to do it.
I try so hard to be a good mom. Try to be in the moment. Try to see life through my young daughters eyes. Today I failed big time. I displayed conduct unbecoming of a mother.
In an instant I chose not to forgive her, I just feel so angry. I told her I loved her, just that I didn't like her behavior. We both cried. I will ask for her forgiveness in the morning. She will give it with no hesitation. I have a lot to learn from my 7 year old.
