How Could You Not Tell Me?

Tantrums

It's already been two days since Avia got home and all she's been doing is playing on her iPad in her bedroom. She had been treated like a "Princess" she calls herself as her mom and grandparents granted every request of hers!

"Mommy!", Avia yells as she also shakes the bell she was given.

"Yes baby?" Taylor asks as she runs into her room.

"My iPad is low on battery!" She says in a sad tone and demands her iPad be charged, but with that attitude Taylor wasn't having it.

Taylor had refused to to give her her iPad while it was charging on her nightstand and that caused Avia to have one of the biggest tantrums.

Today was the day that they were all secretly planning surprising Avia with a big party to celebrate her recovery, but with Avia's attitude, that led Taylor to thinking of giving Avia a lesson.

"You are not getting this iPad back until tomorrow. You know you have specific times on it and today you already exceeded it by draining it's battery." Taylor sternly explains.

She had offered Avia a coloring book and some books, but none of that interested Avia which led her to become more upset.

Avia started throwing the coloring book and crayons onto the floor as tears streamed down her face and Taylor stared at her child in disbelief.

Avia has never gotten this upset before and usually obeyed whatever her mother told her, but as a kid and being limited to her physical activities because of her injuries led her to boredom.

"Avia Swift! I'm not liking this attitude of yours, so you better stop it! If this continues any farther, you will loose your iPad privileges." Taylor shouts and Avia continues to cry like she was already doing before.

From all the stress Taylor decided she couldn't even listen to her cries and leaves her room as her mom walks past her to check on Avia and Taylor heads downstairs where they were decorating.

"What's up with her?" Austin asks as he was blowing up balloons.

"She drained the iPad battery and created a fuss and now she won't stop crying. Im not inviting people over until she fixes her attitude." Taylor says as she sits by the table.

Austin slowly nods his head, knowing not to mess with his older sister's stress.

It had already been an hour and they had the whole living room and decorated. Taylor decided to delaying the party by an hour to give Avia and herself more time to cool down.

"Avia." She says as she knocks on her door.

She doesn't hear a response and when she opens the door she finds Avia sleeping in her with her eyes puffy from crying, which broke Taylor's heart. Although she hated discipling her daughter, it had to be done.

She carefully say down on her bed and ran her fingers through Avia's hair.

"Honey, the guest have started to arrive" Andrea whispers at the door and Taylor nods.

Taylor decides to just carefully pick up Avia in her arms since it would still be uncomfortable for her to walk with her cast on and carried a sleeping Avia downstairs.
