I don't think self-contempt is justified, or helps. You're a very concsientious (sp?) person, which is the opposite of lazy. Doesn't self-contempt just make you want to curl up in a ball and retreat more? Your little girl needs encouragement and reward, not contempt. She has to feel happy and safe to come out and help you with her bubbly energy. Tell her what a good job she's doing and she'll want to do more.
