Hold firm Bob, it will be worth it in the end....

As cute as she is, and she is cute and she knows it. This is not quite wearing with her daddy after the events of the other day.  Anna continues to use this as a tactic to influence the room and outcomes, but with no success at present. She is so likable and you can't help get sucked in, but I must stand firm. Anna and I are quietly getting back on track and her behaviour has dramatically improved in the last few days. It is good to see that she is learning from not having any pocket money and she has been quick to make the connection between being a good girl and being rewarded. The going to bed early section of her punishment has been difficult and after much fuss, highly skilled distraction techniques employed by Anna, I have won the day and she is staring to realise that sometimes she needs to do as she is told by her parents! I must stay strong and not be wavered by those cunning female guiles she employs!
P.S We are not destitute and Anna does have other clothes than the stripy jumper, at the moment it is her favourite, very boy like and she insists on wearing it every day!
