Relaxing before bed
By: Willa Rose Date: September 15, 2017, 5:05 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
*After leaving Momma and the girls in the living room, i head on
upstairs, thinking to get a head start on a shower whilst the
girls are distracted by cookies and milk! Heading to my room, i
grab my favourite comfy jammies and head on into the bathroom to
use the shower. Turning the water on nice and hot , i step
under the spray, Just enjoying the feel of the hot spray and the
fact that i have some time to myself before the others will be
fighting over the bathroom. Of all the things having the girls
living with us, having to share the bathroom was probably one of
the hardest!
After taking the time to thoroughly wash and condition my long
hair, i change into my jammies and wrapping a towel round my wet
hair, i head back into the bedroom. Picking up the latest book
ive been reading i curl up in the window seat and lose myself in
its pages*

I notice Willa's absence from the cookie-eating and so I give
her a few minutes to herself, knowing all the changes have been
a lot to take in and wanting to give her time to herself.
Once time has passed, I head up to my daughter's bedroom and
softly knock on the door, peeking in. I have her phone in my
hand. "Willa?" I ask, quietly. "May I come in?"

*Hearing Momma at the door i sigh a little to myself and
reluctantly put down the book i was enjoying and sit up on the
window seat, legs curledup under me.*
"Hi MOmma"

Crossing the room I sit beside Willa on her window seat and
gently rest my hand on her thigh. "Hey, baby. I just wanted to
talk with you about earlier a little bit."

*Shrugs my shoulders when Momma says she wants to talk about
earlier*
"Talk about what exactly?"
*Taking the towel from my hair i start to to comb it through
with my fingers before it dries completely*

"Well, just about your getting in trouble and things,s" I answer
quietly. "You get why I took your phone, right?"

*Frowns a little when you ask if i get why you took my phone*
"No! I get i shouldn't have been using it while you were
talking Momma, but i don't get why you had to take it awy OR why
you had to do it in front of everybody!"

"Willa, I took it away as a consequence to your actions. When
you misuse something--which in this case means using it at an
inappropriate time--there need to be consequences. And I did it
in front of everyone because everyone happen to be in the room,
not because I wanted to embarrass you. I'd never do that if I
can help it. Unfortunately, sometimes embarrassment is a
byproduct of correcting behavior."

*Shakes my head*
"You didn't have to take it away Momma! It's not like i was
playing with it deliberately to be rude or nothing! You didn't
even give me a chance to put it away or anything you just took
it straiaght away!!"

I sigh a little bit, but not because I'm upset with Willa about
her response. I don't enjoy making her upset, but I am sticking
by my earlier actions. "Willa, you're old enough to know better
than to have your phone out while I'm trying to have a serious
discussion with you about something," I point out. "And your
knowing that expectation is the reason you weren't warned first.
I realize that playing on your phone wasn't intended to be rude
but your actions speak louder than your words on that one
because you know I view not giving me your full attention that
way."
