Chloe is almost 9 yrs old – well, short of a few months and boyyy! is she sassy this kid ! sometimes I wonder if it is because we are too lax with her or are we giving her too much freedom to express herself. We haven’t really punished the Chloe before and even before we could, she would start crying and say she is worried about getting punished *slapped forehead*. But things gotta change I told PB because I can’t have a sassy kid growing up in our household, so these days before she can turn too sassy, we stop her and tell her what the consequences are if she continued. Normally, she would stop but when we have friends over, she does try and push her limits – so we will continue to monitor this situation because I definitely don’t want to bring up a brat for a kid.
