Harsh

I feel I was a bit too harsh on Yohan last night. I looked at her binder and saw her notes written by her teacher. There were unfinished tasks that the teacher was waiting on. So Yohan heard an earful from me. I may have been too harsh reiterating I didn't want her to waste my money paying for her tuition fee. That I could just transfer her to a public school and not sacrifice money if she won't pay attention to class. She needs to be responsible in class.

She did explain that she did the tasks during study hall and turned it later that day. That was after class, or after the teacher wrote it in her binder.

We were doing her Math homework and spelling review when all these happened. I realized the entire time that I was a bit harsh. She was crying profusely and was sobbing. I then hugged her, I didn't say sorry though. I told her that it's her fault she needed to hear those things. I pacified her by hugging her.

I was like a stern teacher. After all the things I said to her. I asked her, please repeat to me all the things I told you. What should you do and what shouldn't you do?

I also asked her what punishment does she want if she failed to do those things. She mentioned not watching tv/videos, not playing games. I added I won't buy her books. That made her cry even harder. So I told her I won't buy her books only for that weekend. She has to prove to me every week that she deserves them.
