I thought I was safe from this for a few years yet but its already started. Seren asked if she could watch Alice in Wonderland, and I said no. She kept going on until I snapped and said sternly "Seren, I said no" to which she calmly answered "Shona, I said yes" (she currently calls me by my real name, not mummy). She is putting her hands on her hips and wiggling her head, has the sulky look sorted including the eyes rolling. I asked her to tidy up only to get back "I don't think so" (a favourite phrase of mine). She tells Cally to stop being naughty.
I am moving out before the teens hit, the tweens are bad enough.
