Empty threats

I have lost count of times I have ‘cancelled’ Friday, aka Lil Princess’s birthday, over the last few days!
If I haven’t cancelled, I’ve threatened to cancel.
Why do I bother?
It happens all the time.
Things go wrong, behaviour hits an all time low, and I resort to these ’empty’ threats. I mean really? Am I that strong that I could cancel a birthday?!
Nope, I really couldn’t. I’m too soft.
I mean, I have the power of the banshee, at times. Even Hubby Dearest gives me a look when they drive me so insane that I can’t stop but shout.
But its all just noise, isn’t it?
Lil Princess, still getting in our bed, every night… No taking things away or canceling of things, or the threat of, has worked.
Lil Man, the same. Silly repetitive behavior, and the thought of no football, or Dhol lessons, might stop things for a short while, but its all back to the same old within days or hours even…

Where am I going wrong? Maybe one day I really do need to ‘cancel’ something…
(I might make something up, and cancel that!)

    I can’t say I know how that feels but I’ve personally seen days where women I know were practically reduced to tears because of their kids. You’re not alone and you’re doing nothing wrong virtual hug 🙂
