I'm more inclined to inspire her behind!"?Amazing timing that she said that to you right as you were reading about that very thing (I swear, kids have uncanny timing!). I think strong-willed children are often out to get our energy and our reactions, and often, one almost-certain way to do that is to accuse us of something or blame us. Not taking the verbal bait is a step in the right direction! So many of us have felt the way you mentioned...you're in good company! I'm glad you're hanging out in the Guilt-Free Mom community so we can inspire one another on days when we just can't muster the inspiration ourselves.

You are the one who creates problems every single day by telling me I can't do something or telling me no."</blockquote> THIS from a 9-year-old! I must admit, I'm glad there are several days until the New Year because it's going to take me at LEAST that long to think some thoughts that inspire me to positive action. Right now? I'm more inclined to inspire her behind! OMG Karen – you will not believe this, but WHILE I WAS READING THIS my daughter said to me, and I quote:

Right now? I’m more inclined to inspire her behind!
