It's easier to let things just slip by rather than yell and scream. One thing I've found has helped has been to have all the clothes/equipment/water bottles laid out and ready for the kids. So much less stressful than them searching and me yelling as we're rushing to get out the door. <br /><br />P.S. I'm definitely going to look into that book. We're looking to start a new study soon ... perhaps that could be the one since kid issues come up every week.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12470761910343689344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11864721.post-36165811523062678382010-05-11T15:09:48.079-05:002010-05-11T15:09:48.079-05:00ps, I told the kids last night at dinner that u gu...ps, I told the kids last night at dinner that u guys were doing it and that we probably should too. they said oh no we shouldn't. ha ha. well, Dan and i agreed, and this morning I used it for the first time-they were bickering and wouldn't stop so they both stood in the corner. woohoo-T did NOT like that, especially since she is older and had to stand longer! I think this might be a good thing-thanks!Rene'https://www.blogger.com/profile/13382103216031739451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11864721.post-79756410761550068842010-05-10T10:34:28.668-05:002010-05-10T10:34:28.668-05:00let me know how its going, that's my biggest p...let me know how its going, that's my biggest pet peeve and what winds up getting me frustrated is that what they are told to do isn't done the FIRST time they are told. We need to get that fixed in our house too, so let me know how its going. u might be onto something with holding the spanking for something else, bc I don't want to feel like I'm spanking my kids every second of the day either (until they get in line, plus sometimes a spanking doesn't hurt enough to do much good anyway (its hard to judge how hard to spank-I don't want to really hurt them, but I do want them to learn a lesson).keep me postedRene'https://www.blogger.com/profile/13382103216031739451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11864721.post-36618616937147020682010-05-10T08:57:05.009-05:002010-05-10T08:57:05.009-05:00Thanks for stopping by my blog and taking the time...Thanks for stopping by my blog and taking the time to comment - I needed a little reminder today :-) We've definitely hit a time of paying the price after being too lax for a while...having to repeat and repeat and REPEAT ourselves.
