Silent Treatment
7 CommentsMy gal always gives me a Silent treatment whenever she is not in the mood to do anything. It makes me geram! She can be a good girl one moment and next moment she changes.
Once I was playing happily with her and it was time to sleep. I asked her to go up to brush her teeth. She kept playing pretending not to hear me. I asked the second time, she still didn’t response. I scolded her but she didn’t move. Of coz, I won’t take a cane for this small matter.
I stopped everything that she is doing, I made her look into my eyes and gave her a 5 minutes lecture. She cried and ended up sleeping without brushing teeth. By the way, I get a lot of those no response treatment. It is like talking, scolding or threatening the wall. Anyone has an effective way to counter this?
Funny thing is sometimes the cycle goes this way, I asked, she doesn’t response, I scold, she cry, she wants mummy to hug her, mummy asked her to do as she is told before hug, she does it and mummy hug her. Hrmm..if she does what she is asked, she probably get the hug without me scolding her. I just don’t understand her, she is like testing the water.
By the way, I do talk about this with her when she is in good mood. She always promises me not to repeat it but somehow she does it over and over again. She even wrote it on the paper to say she will listen to mummy. Funny isn’t it.

sound so much like Jeremy too … i also think i always talk to the wall, he know very much if he do what we said, he will most get our hug, kiss or even reward … but he always choose the opposite way .. just to make us angry and nag nag nag … sometime we will take out the cane … just to shown and frighten him, then only he follow …. hahhahah

Hmmm…the part about crying, asking for a hug and eventually complying sounds sooo familiar. So is the part about promising but never keeping the promises 🙂

Zara does that to me too….
But Zaria.. so far cry but once done she’s fine. Unlike Zara, who’ll give me silent treatment for a long time, then eventually.. she’ll pretend she wanted to ask something and make up.
