Oh No! I got the human that hasn't learned the Cat's Human Ownership Rules.
I'm going to give it a chance, but it looks like I'm going to have to bite the Sh$$ out of it, until it learns the 3 times max rule. 2 times only,
if I am having a bad day. Once only, if I just feel like it.
These whomons are really fickle. It takes a lot of tough love to break them in right.
I strongly believe that if it isn't cute at 15 years old, then it isn't cute at two years old.
Call me old fashion but this is a conversation that wouldn't have made it pass "Linda, listen to me." The next time this kid would have gotten a
cupcake from me, would have been at his High School Graduation party; and only if he learned to respect his mother and the appropriate way to
communicate with his mother.
I am Big Auntie to 22 nieces & nephews and 7 great nieces and nephews and countless children in the community. I don't yell, I don't hit and I
don't repeat myself. They also know the rules of Big Auntie's house.
Their parents say it's a miracle and they don't understand why their children are so different around me and so hard headed and disrespectful when
they are out of my sight and ear shot. It isn't a miracle. It is mutual respect, clear understanding with concrete rules, that are consistent. I hold
them responsible for their own actions, and a "I'm sorry" or any excuse is not a get out of jail free card.
They know I love them and they love me. They love coming to Big Auntie's house and we have wonderful times and adventures out here in the woods. I
think it is so much easier with me because they don't have to guess about what is right, what is wrong, and what they can or can't get away with. At
Big Auntie's house, you don't get away with anything, but they go away with everything.
I was hoping somebody would respond and put into words what I couldn't because I was too gobsmacked to.....thank you!
(I think Linda is his childminder....I could be wrong)
