I don't participate in this kind of drama.
I play. They sit until they are dressed. Then I check their work. If it's good I let them play. If not the can sit on the deck and struggle, watch kids play, look at the sky, etc. but they don't get attention until they are ready for play.

I CAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN'TTTTTT
I want youuuuuuuu to do it.
My Momma does it.
I want my Daddy!
I just wanted an ATTEMPT. I wanted PART of a foot to TRY to go into a RAIN BOOT for goodness sake. I'm not asking them to do anything super complicated.
It also took them until this week (started end. Aug) to pull up their own pants after toileting. Stubborn much? and LOTS of time spent in the bathroom saying "I CAN'T"
