The Drama Queen

So Paige is officially the drama queen of the century. Last night she got home from a birthday party just in time to see her brother get in the bath. I told her she couldn't get in because she already had a bath that day and it was going to be a really fast bath for brother because it was time for bed. Besides I had already said that it was time for her to get her jammies on. She started to freak out. So Robert said if he calm down and get your jammies on I will read you a book before bed. This calmed her down but instead of getting ready for bed she went in her room for a minute just to come out in her same clothes and begging to get in the tub. I said "We need to stick with our answer." So she started throwing a fit again. Robert reminded her that if she got her jammies on fast he would read her a story. But it didn't work this time, she was screaming at us saying that we were the meanest parents in the whole world and she was going to go live with her friend Afton. Robert went in trying to talk to her and explain things to her but she was just freaking out!! After hearing that she was going to go live with Afton a few more times and hearing her say how nice her parents were cause they let her do whatever she wants to I went in her room and grabbed her little suit case and put some of her clothes in it and gave it to her. I said "Well I sure hope Aftons parents enjoy being yelled at because I am tired of it. So have a good time. Come on, I'll even open the door for you." ...ok so I am probably doing everything wrong but it worked for the moment. She didn't want to go! But it didn't stop the yelling.
Well when we were kneeling for prayer (without Paige because she was having her melt down) I asked Landon to bring me all of the stockings so we could put them up. Guess what we found . . . Santa had seen Paige performing her melt down and magically put a letter in her stocking. He explained that he has seen her be really good and he has seen her be really crazy. He said that a cute little girl that is yelling and saying mean things to her mom and dad doesn't get her on the nice list. He promised to give her one more shot because he really wants to bring her the fun stuff he has planned to bring. I told her to put that letter where she will see it often so that it can remind her because I want her to have a great Christmas.
We talked after that cause of course it calmed her down. I told her we need to remember that things as simple as a bath can happen the next day and are no reason to freak out on mom and dad. Now I know it would have been so much easier to just say "go ahead take a bath" but what would any of us learned from it. She has had issue with listening and doing what she's told so I felt like we needed to follow through.
But on top of all of this all I can think is "SHE'S ONLY 5!!!!!" What am I going to do when she's a teenager. I am so scared for that time. I hope I'm not doing everything wrong. Do you ever stress out and think "I sure hope I'm not screwing these kids up"? I do. But I am also glad that this next little baby will be a boy because then maybe I wont have to deal with so much drama anymore. I have enough of that in myself I don't need to add to it.
I sure can tell the difference this morning though. She's being very sweet, and even being patient with her brother. It may only last the remaining 2 days until Christmas but at least I have that. ;-) She really is such a sweet little girl but when she has a melt down . . . she has a MELT DOWN!!! Any mommy advice that can be shared would be wonderful!!
