I, too, had a stubborn girlie. I feel your pain- buuut, you have to stick to your words once they're said. Otherwise, next time she will be worse. And trust me when I say she learned.
When I took parenting classes for my ASD son, they told me to remember I was bigger, and I was MOM. That I was the one who was supposed to be in control- not a three yr. old. Plus, I found if you asked kids what their punishment should be, most of the time they were worse than what I would've dealt. In fact, some were downright punishment for me! So I softened the blows, and guided where I could.
You did no lasting harm Momma- except to your heart. Hugs and Peace~~~D
