Cry & cry non-stop

I know my little Yuxin is a stubborn girl. She is very persistence. She always wanted what she wants. If she cannot get it, she will make sure she'll get it. Or maybe we pampered her too much? That she is having this behaviour...

Yesterday I caught her playing with a 'plastic' scissor so I decided to keep it and explained to her that she cannot play with scissor. (Actually, the scissor is not sharp and is meant for kids but I still don't want her to play because she is too young to differentiate real and fake scissor.) Immediately, Yuxin burst into tears. She cried and cried non-stop and kept saying she wanted to play with scissor.

The crying went on and on and I kept explaining to her but end up I give up and closed my ears. Yuxin kept crying for 30 minutes non-stop! Finally, Yuxin's mommy cannot take it anymore and gave her some 'red decorative hand prints'. Then she finally know that I am angry and stop crying after a few minutes.

By now, Yuxin was already very tired and went to take her nap after drinking her milk. I thought finally it's over and no more crying but when she woke up she cried again. I believed she had a dream. She immediately stood up and ran to the door, crying... She wanted me to open the door and go out with her.

Aiyo... not again... I console her and said 'You can only go out after you had taken your bath and dinner.' But Yuxin wouldn't listen. She kept crying and pulling me to the door. I don't know how long she cried for this time but I know I cannot always give in. In the end, I won the battle. Yuxin finally calmed down and stopped crying.

Then, at night suddenly she told me 'Cannot play with scissor' and she repeated it to me this morning. I am quite satisfied this time as Yuxin learn a lesson - "SCISSOR... NO NO..."
