Joyful Child With Guinea Pig

I’m trying to remind myself that strong willed children succeed in the world. That the dedication is placed on something other than my plan for that moment. That anger during math is just a sign of her passions elsewhere. That her willingness to write songs or sew or draw or read or write stories all day just means it’s harder to change those plans up... and when my plans aren’t her plans, however.... grrr. And that when she’s doing double math tomorrow with Daddy because I’m not putting up with it today.... it’s just another day in the life. Tis the life of a thespian’s mother... I’ll remember this when she’s a best selling novelist and animal loving guitarist ... until then, we may need to ship her off somewhere else for about six years... how do you punish a child who is completely fine to be sent to her room to do the above mentioned things all day alone? And as my friend so nicely put it, she gets it from me. That’s why I’m so bossy and “in charge”. I would like to take this moment to apologize....
