It’s that after-sick time now in our house. Samantha is much better today, but I’m losing my mind because she has become a whining, annoying, uncooperative baby. I hate to say that about my own child (and I wouldn’t say it to her face), but it’s true. Of course, we made her that way by spoiling her for the past 5 days. And it’s hard to get out of the habit. We’ve been sleeping in her room, spoon feeding her, letting her drink juice all day, and basically giving her anything she wants. While she is sick, she doesn’t abuse her power, but the better she feels, the more she reverts to screaming at any little thing that doesn’t go her way.
I think this is what people mean when they say that being a parent requires patience. A few days of proper parenting is the cure for this ill.
