The Tough Moments  — 4 months ago

I always feel good about my parenting when Audrey and I make it through a rough moment, and afterwards I feel 100% confident and right in how I handled the situation. The other night Audrey and I had plans to go out for ice cream after Daddy went to work. She was having one of those days and was just a terror from the moment I walked through the door. I made it clear that we wouldn’t be able to go out for our treat if she wasn’t behaving, and ultimately I had to take the privilege of the ice cream outing away. You can imagine the tears and tantrum that ensued, but I stayed firm, and after a few minutes she came and cuddled up with me to talk about why we couldn’t get ice cream.
