Why do they do that?

Omg, I do not know why you tell a kid something, they hear you,  look you in the face, repeat what you said and still not do what you said.

My 6 year old daughter has actually started questioning everything I say.  I'll say something like, "Boobie (nickname) go get mama some socks please,"  and she'll look at me,  and say "go get you some socks Mommy,  okay." But guess what she still will get sidetracked  and go do something else and then say, "mommy why are you grumpy? "

When you're a patient parent like myself you say , "oh no sweetie,  your listening ears were not listening but I'm going to slow things down and give you another chance to show how much of a big girl you are. "

But sometimes I want to say,  "I know you heard me girl,  please go do what I said and don't ask me that silly question.

To be a parent you have to be understanding,  loving,  patient,  caring,  and watch the real responses that may slip out from time to time.

My son,  11 months has definitely got this down pat.  He knows what"no"and "aah aah" mean, but guess what... he always looks at me,  smile and move forward with his non listening ears.  But he's still young and takes More patience. I wouldn't change being a mommy for nothing in the world.
