PARENTING...

Nobody said it was going to be easy.. because it is definitely not. 

Everything about parenting is hard. Ever since Alleah can & has been talking; I've been thinking a lot about how to deal with things when she gets in trouble. Since she is beginning to understand more.  Before now I think Alleah was way to young to act upon getting her in trouble. 

A lot of mothers have different opinions on how do handle things. & I respect that. I know whats best for my kids and that's all that matters. Yes, even partners have differences about how to handle their kids. Just got to work together (kids sense fear) haha just kidding. Luckily Joey and I have agreed on everything so far :) 

Alleah is a great kid. So much personality. She is fun and energetic. Lately she has learned the word "no" and "stop" (as of right now, I think its funny when she says it) but I do try and not laugh when around her. When I tell her "no" she will just say it back to me & not listen. I do not and will never believe in spanking my children. To me that is not okay. (others have different opinions on this... but this is my opinion). I have put Alleah in timeout for 2 mins once for hitting and it seemed to help but of course she said "no" while sitting there. As of right now that is my solution to things and I will continue it. So far I haven't had to put her in timeout again so it may have worked. Maybe
