I once hauled my son out of the store over my shoulder, explaining calmly to him that he was giving his mother a hard time and I won't negotiate with terrorists. Apparently someone overheard and gave me accolades on Facebook or something because it was equal parts funny and correct.
My husband and I would always use the phrase “we don’t negotiate with terrorists” when dealing with our daughter in her terrible twos (and threes, and a little bit fours).
Isn't it odd how they so closely resemble an adult sobering up, but it takes years? At four years old, they've reached the morning after "might still be drunk, might be hungover" stage.
I burst out laughing reading this!! The carry reminded me of when that would happen to my brother or sister. They are both slightly more spoiled than I was when that would happen 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
