Gracie's fit

Gracie throwing a tantrum after waking up from her nap. It had been going on like this for a while. Out of frustration and to lighten the mood, I took out the camera if for nothing else than to show my Mom what my afternoon was like.

For those who want to criticize my parenting or those who think I was being unreasonable or cruel, I disabled comments. If I had given in to her, she would have learned that every time she wanted something, all she had to do was throw a tantrum. That's what parenting is: teaching.

I love my daughter and I want her to grow up being able to handle her frustrations and learn how to be reasonable herself. If I don't teach her that, she won't be able to function in the world.

For the rest: thank you. She is a firecracker, and I love her more than life itself.
