Question

It was my birthday and she was wrapping my present in her bedroom, i walked in to say goodnight but I saw my gift and I tried to act like I didn't see anything but she cried anyways???? what should I do??

Answer 1

tell her you are sorry you busted in her room w/out knocking.

Answer 2

Tell her your sorry. She'll get over it. Give her 30 minutes.

Answer 3

act really surprised when u unwrap it, and be like "its just what i wanted!! how did u kno?... is that what u were wrapping the other day? u did a good job wrapping it,... i remember my mom saying that to me when i was like 7 or so, my sister told her what i got her (she was like 3)

Answer 4

aaaawwww poor thing she must be so upset.  Let her know that its ok and that you didn't see it and you can't wait to open it.  She will be so happy with your reaction.  Kids need to know that there are some things in life that can be disappointing at times, but we have to move on.  She will be fine though.

Answer 5

Tell her it's okay and when it is her birthday let her pick a present out.

Answer 6

Tell her that it's ok and you love her. Say how pround you are that she was doing something like wrapping a present for mom. Remind her that it's ok that you saw the present.

Answer 7

i would just tell her that you are sorry you saw her wrapping your present but that you love the fact she took it upon herself to wrap your present all by herself for you... As for the privacy and knocking... i have a 7 and 9 year old and there is nothing that needs to be private at their age in their room.. so there for no i would not knock when i walk in the room!

Answer 8

Tell her that you did not see anything and that you did not know what she was doing, and that you were just coming to tell her good night and then when you open your gift...act real suprised and happy with the gift.

Answer 9

Tell her you didn't see it, and you still want her to wrap it up all nice and pretty, then when you open it on your b-day be all surprised.

Answer 10

Apologize for walking in her room without knocking.

Then go on.

She will learn that these things happen and it's not the end of the world.

Answer 11

wow.... tell her and act clueless towards the present, give her a tight hug and pretend like u nvr ever saw it

Answer 12

Tell you you cannot wait to unwrap the gift. That it was very sweet of her to think of your birthday. And learn how to knock. In a few years it will be alot more that just a present you might be seeing. Give the poor kid a bit of privacy.

Answer 13

don't worry, she won't even remeber once you open it and show your appreciation... as for giving a 6 year old privacy, why? no child that young should hold anything private

Answer 14

tell her you should of knocked and next time you will.and start knocking on her door to show her she is growing into a young lady and talk to her about giving her some privacy and make sure you explane to her what that means.tell her you did not mean to see the birthday gift.but she can make you a speical card you will not see.see if she will go for that.

Answer 15

tell her its okay and just say its okay ill get my present early
