On one of those exasperating days after I scolded Sophie, I turned to her and told her, “Sophie, everyday I tell myself that I want to be a better mummy for Sophie. So you must also be a good girl for mummy, OK?”
“Mummy, but I think today I’m a better girl than you are a better mummy because you scold(ed) me. “
“Well, if you’re a good girl then I don’t have to scold right? If I don’t scold you, then I’ll be a better mummy. Then I’ll be the winner.” and I gave her a smug grin.
Silence from Sophie. No, more accurately, she pouted in silence because she hates being told she’s not the winner.
For now the score stands at Mummy 1. Sophie 0.
Can’t believe I’m even bargaining with my four-year-old on this.
Trying to bribe me with her “saranghaeyo” pose.
