So, we're reading "The Kissing Hand" by Audrey Penn for our bedtime story tonight, and it went a little something like this:
" 'Mrs. Raccoon smiled. 'Now,' she told Chester, 'whenever you feel lonely and need a little loving from home' -Bethany, stop pulling on your sister!-'just press your hand to your cheek and think, 'Mommy loves you.' -I told you to leave your sister alone! - 'Mommy loves you.' And that very kiss will jump to your face and fill you with toasty warm thoughts.' BETHANY, why did you just pinch your sister??!!! Story time is over!! Lay down and go to sleep!!!"
This book is such a lovely and loving story, but I guess I'm the kind of mom who just couldn't grin and bear it -even to get the story's message across. Surely, I'm not the only one of us 'moms' to have lost patience at a time like this---- right???

Just wait until Mallory starts defending herself and fighting back!!!
no doubt, that girls got spunk. She's going to get some revenge
You are FAR from the only Mom who feels this way. We have those moments here all the time!
Wow! That sounds way too familiar, although I'm with Heather, at least Mallory isn't fighting back yet. Cloey is more vicious these days than Katelund is. But I guess with all of her pinching, scratching, and biting as a 2 year old, she really just had it coming. :)
Good for you for reading bedtime stories. By the time bedtime rolls around we say our prayers and shove them into bed. I'm just done for the day by that point. We have to do our reading in the afternoon.
