Yes. I sent my boy to bed without his dinner.
I have never done that in my life. Just like I’ve never done atv riding, in my life. It all started a few days ago. This grumpiness of mine. I warned my kids, don’t make me grumpy..because I get really really grumpy. For some reason..it doesn’t seem to register in their head. And so I get grumpy..and have been for the past few days.
Amazing, these kids. No matter how many times, you repeat yourself, they don’t catch on. Trust me, I’ve tried every creative way to remind them of certain things. And the thing is, when they don’t do it..you yell at them..and they get mad at you for yelling at them. HEY! Who didn’t listen in the first place?
Well, No.2 has always been asked to eat his lunch first, then his treat. Or his fruit (good food) then his treat (junk food). He has been coming back with lunchboxes with good food. NOT GOOD.
He always knows he’s in trouble, because right as he hands me the containers, he’ll look sheepishly into my eyes.
Well, this time, I told him if you want to eat junk, you can have it. I’m really tired of telling you this every single time. I gave him junk for tea. I gave him junk for dinner. Both of which he refused.
And he just didn’t have his dinner. Just like that. He didn’t complain or cry. Only cried when I told him I won’t be reading any stories to him, because I was in a super foul mood.
Was I going too far? No. I’ve told him several times that if he doesn’t eat his good food, he gets no dinner, but this is the first time, I’ve actually gone through with it.
I know he won’t suffer badly…I just know he’ll be super hungry for breakfast tomorrow..and he’ll have his junk for breakfast waiting. I’m serious. That’s how foul a mood I am in.
