Being that I have cats, not kids (although my mom swears that a lot of the things they do that drive me crazy are just like kids), I can't say if this book is good or full of crap, but you can look. I heard it mentioned on the Today show yesterday:
http://www.msnbc.com/news/900667.asp?0dm=N12JV "When Kids Push Your Buttons" Hope it helps, if not, well, you can have my brother to make it up to you

Hmm no I can´t give you any advice I am afraid. Jackie has always been a little angel. She´s terrible at getting into trouble. I´m not sure she even understands the phrase "getting into trouble". She is all smiles and laughs, with plenty of hugs in her (thankfully ). And Josh is too young to get himself into trouble. So in my home the only troublesome person would be the hubby. Of course he is not that troublesome. I stern look usually does the trick. All I can say is to try and explain over and over again.

My son has done everything from opening front door, resulting in 2 year old getting out in early morning with the temp being 35 f, to plugging in a lamp, removing the bulb and putting metal in it, and also putting something in toilet and flushing repeatedly until over flows
2 year old likes to climb counters and get anything she can reach 1 year old has to be in my lap all the time, if i put her down or give her to daddy, she screams until i can't stand it

Sounds to me like you could use a small vacation. Any chance hubby could watch the kids for a night (or better yet a weekend) so that you could get out of the house. One of the best things I've heard of is a friend that gave his wife a night in a hotel room (w/room service) and left her there. She had the whole night to just herself to relax with no interruptions. To take long bubble bath, watch tv, sleep, whatever. Sounds to me like that's what you could use, if it's doable that is. If you can't afford a hotel, maybe hubby could take kids to relative for a day or two and you can stay at home and pamper yourself (NO CLEANING!!!).
If needed, I'm sure you can borrow the willow stick to convince hubby that this would be good idea [img]graemlins/whackya.gif[/img]

I wish, but i only get to go out once a month...... if he does not get a call from boss......as for relatives, if you knew my family, you would never had suggested it, the belive ideal meals consist of zebra cakes and cokes as for the hotel idea, we can not afford anything like that

Stormy, I am not a parent so.... but, I hope that when I am one I live by the "spare the rod, spoil the child" rule I was raised on. I simply think that at a certain age, a child is like a dog - it responds better to physical stimulus than any other. Especially the "hellion boy" - I did everything he did, but boy did my ass pay the price in spades. Metal in the light socket. With me, it was a bobby pin in the wall outlet - completing the circuit (in both holes) [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] You shoulda seen the sparks [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] I know I'll never forget it.
Sorry, but as a good ol southern boy, I must say that spanking and confinement to my room worked wonders with me. |
