Chapter 1029 No Progress At All


    Chapter 1029 No Progress at All


    Patrick and Aimee decided to ask Ridge and Rosemary what they thought. When they got back to


    the room, they called the two little ones over and had them sit down.


    Rosemary couldn''t sit still, fidgeting around like she waspletely restless.


    Ridge, on the other hand, sat still waiting for Aimee and Patrick to speak up.


    Patrick adjusted his demeanor and asked seriously, "Ridge, Rosemary, Mommy and Daddy have


    something important to ask you. We need you guys to make a decision."


    Ridge looked at Patrick skeptically not knowing why he suddenly became so serious.


    Rosemary finally realized what was going on. She rarely ever sat quietly but now she blinked her


    eyes without moving them from Patrick''s face.


    Patrick said, "Your mom and I are thinking about having another baby brother or sister for you guys.


    What do you think? Do you want one?"


    Rosemary immediately raised her hand in response, "I want a little sister!"


    After some thought, Ridge said, "I want a little brother!"


    This situation caught both Aimee''s and Patrick''s attention off guard. Children these days had very


    strong possessiveness; there were countless news reports of older siblings experiencing emotional


    breakdowns when their family suddenly had another child resulting in many tragedies.


    Although neither Patrick nor Aimee believed that Ridge or Rosemary would experience such


    problems, their unanimous desire for another sibling was unexpected nheless.


    However, what followed made both Patrick and Aimee headache-inducing moments. When


    Rosemary heard Ridge say he wanted a younger brother, she red at him, directly shouting loudly,


    "I! Want! Little! Sister!"


    Usually Ridge didn''t argue with Rosemary about anything, but this time he insisted firmly on his


    position regarding this matter.


    "I! Want! Little Brother!" He said seriously while looking at Rosemary intently.


    Rosemary had always been indulged by Ridge; most of the time as long as she persisted enough


    times, then he would give up arguing with her, which naturally led it bing her victory every


    time.


    But who would have thought that today of all days that Ridge would be so determined without any


    intention of giving in?


    Rosemary widened her eyes not believing what she just heard -she couldn''t believe her ears!


    It took quite some time before Rosemary regained control over herself again, speaking even louder


    than before saying,


    "I! Want! Little Sister!"


    Ridge''s voice didn''t raise, but he spoke with a firmer tone as he told Rosemary, "I! Want! Little


    Brother!"

    Neither of them acted like children throwing a tantrum or resorted to physical violence. However,


    this stalemate didn''t make things any better.


    Aimee and Patrick leaned against the couch, not nning to get involved in this battle. They


    believed that Ridge and Rosemary should solve their own problems.


    Adults getting involved would only make things worse. People tend to side with the weaker party,


    and often times adults don''t fully understand the situation at hand. Even if they hear both sides of


    the story clearly, their judgment can still be biased.


    This usually results in one party feeling wronged. Even if someone could bepletely fair and just


    in their decision-making process, how can they determine what is absolutely correct?


    So they let them handle it on their own terms as long as they didn''t hurt each other physically or


    verbally.


    The two children were almost four years old now and had grown ustomed to handling conflicts


    this way. But this problem was obviously more difficult than anything they had dealt with before;


    neither of them made any progress beyond firmly stating their choices to each other.
