Living with us is one little girl with some mad negotiating skills. We have to stand our ground – all tough-like. Anna, ahem, Angel can explain her way out of and into a lot.
But, we’re onto her.
And her subtly cunning nature.
Take last night for example. She futility attempted to talk her dad into letting her watch a movie while she “falls asleep.” Yeah. Whatev’.
Enters Mom. Before I begin her bedtime prayers, she says to Kris, “Dad, could you step into the hall, please?” In other words, can you get out so I can usurp your authority by asking mom what you just said no to? Or something like that.
Do you have a negotiator or sly one? {Or not so sly in this case.}
How do you handle their attempts at negotiation?
