And if you engage, if you get reactive, if you think, gosh, why can't he just accept that no means no?

So you may say, Well, because it's inappropriate for you for someone your age, and the child might say, Don't be ridiculous, mom.

You always treat me like a baby.

And you might say, Well, remember the last time we saw, you know, anything remotely like that, you were up for days, you couldn't sleep, you crawled into our bed, and your child might say,

Well that was different because it had zombies and this movie doesn't have zombies.

And on and on it the negotiating, the arguing, the the bickering and all that goes.

And we're side by side.

Nobody's in charge.

And then it can get worse because now the child may move to the position above your hand.

So you're now below with the child saying, I hate you.

You're the worst mom in the world.

I'm going to my room and I'm never talking to you again.

And you may be feeling so put out.

You just spent two hours helping with the science project.

You just made a really nice lunch.

You just did this and that.

Unappreciated.

Nobody around.
