About being seven

Yesterday daughter declared that it is no fun being seven and she wished she was six again.

Why?

Well, when daughter turned 7 last month we instigated some new rules:

1. Use knife and fork properly
2. Tigger to stay in bedroom (to prevent thumb sucking)
3. No getting up again after being put to bed (it was starting to become a habit)

It seems that these rules are not acceptable to her.

I did point out that other things changed when she turned seven:

1. Her pocket money went up to 70p per week (it's always ten times her age)
2. Her bed time increased to 7.45pm
3. She can choose her school snack (from a prescribed list)
   

She said she'd rather give up those three and not have to do the first three!
