Come on…..Moms can’t talk Goody-Goody always. Moms vent out sometimes…….OK OK many times. Daughters are too sensitive to take it light-heartedly. They get angry in a jiffy. They make a long face, sob, sulk, hide and what not. They are extremely strong willed. One second they are very sweet and cooperative, and then the next moment they may suddenly turn very angry and defiant. The smallest thing tends to set them off.
A small funny comment, throwing away a girly pinky stuff, comparing with others, praising their pals, remarking on studies, not believing their self-knit stories, paying no interest to their imaginary fairy world, criticizing their looks all these are triggers to their anger. Once any one of them is triggered daughters would sulk instantly.
It takes a long time to cool them. Moms can’t neglect their sulk. It hurts. It makes Moms guilty. A verbal fight or a temper tantrum is far better than sulking. It sends out a harsh message. You know what it is ……
Moms must understand that daughters’ sulking is not a conspiracy on their part. They are simply doing what argumentative strong willed children do. These children tend to push the limits further, test harder, resist longer, use more drama, all more than the verbally efficient child. It is just a way of expressing themselves.
After all, they are imitating us……We agree on it, isn’t it?
