I used to pride myself as being a patient person. But I find myself eating my own words nowadays. Just yesterday, Daddy lost it and screamed at Cheryl and I understand how he feels at such times because C also pushes my boundaries.
She has this amazing ability of ignoring us when we tell her things and she will go ahead to do the things we tell her not to. We know she does this deliberately because she will be watching us and seeing how we react to her actions.
The other thing that bugs us is Cheryl doesn't like to apologise. She hardly says she is sorry when she does something wrong and at times, we even have to resort to threatening her. But I do realise that scolding her makes things worse; she will ignore us further. And I will have to speak to her in a soft voice and explain to her that what she did was wrong and how her actions has hurt the other party. Then only after this will she apologise. If she is under pressure to apologise, it definitely is a lost cause.
So patience! Something I find myself still lacking, and an area I definitely can improve on.
