I suggested to dd that instead of spreading out whinging and whining throughout the day, that she goes off to her room and gets it all over with in one fell swoop. Well, it’s worth a try (*anything* is worth a try!) So she gamely went off and made horrid noises for a few minutes, which appeared to work for, oh about 5 minutes before she found something else to wail about. Hm, back to square 1 methinks.
Oh, I’m getting tired of this.
