Our son is the calm laid-back type. He's never caused us much trouble and there's not much that bothers him.
We were both hoping when our second was born she would be a little bit of a spitfire with some attitude.
WHAT WERE WE THINKING?
We love her personality and she's very entertaining, but we are paying for it big time!
She's biting at daycare. They've tried everything within their means to get her to stop. Sometimes I am signing up to 3 incident reports a day. We are happy with our daycare, but I don't think they are happy with us and I'm sure the parents in her class hate us! Last week they requested one of us be available to come spank her when she bites. (Yes we believe in spanking and so does the daycare owner, however, she doesn't spank other people's kids because of laws, etc.)
We tried putting it off and ignoring their request, but yesterday I realized we had to do something or we were going to get kicked out of daycare. There aren't many good daycares around here so, DH and I talked last night and decided today would be a good day to start. He works a minute from the daycare and he didn't have anything going today. So we sat her down and told her from now on when she bites at daycare daddy was going to come spank her in front of her friends. She cried and said no biting, so we knew she understood.
I left her at 7:30 this morning. At 8:30 DH called and said he was heading over there because she had bit already. My stomach sank and I wanted to cry. They put her in time out and when DH walked in she got excited yelling daddy, daddy. She thought he was there to pick her up. He explained to her that when she bites he has to come spank her so he did and then he left her screaming mad.
I want to cry even more after hearing the story. I don't know if I feel more sorry for DH or sissy. But I know she has to learn.
After all this could be a real problem when she starts dating, unless he's into that sort of thing.....LOL!
Seriously, anyone out there have a solution?

You are right on top of it. Draw your line and stick to your guns. Her little tush will wear out before your will should. Bless her little heart.
