DYK I am DYING at Eater bunny
DYK I am also furious -
DYK I sent Abigail to time out to sit on her bed for 4 minutes.
DYK she sat there and PEED all over her brand new fresh out of the washer sheets.
DYK Sean better hurry if he wants to still have 2 kids when he gets home.
DYK I should email the supernanny and ask her what to do about a child who PEES on the naughty spot.
DYK don't think for a second she thinks it's b/c she can't get up to go to the potty.
DYK this kid can pee and poo ON COMMAND and does so regulalry.
DYK I think it depends on how she's going to react?
DYK is she going to learn from it if you do that?
DYK or are you going to end up rebuying everything?
DYK my kids would be devastated to lose their toys and I doubt they'd ever do it again?
DYK there is no blanket punishment that always works for every kid? You need to find out what will work for her?
DYK however, if she's not willing to pick up I wouldn't buy things that totally punish you to clean up... aka, things with a million pieces.
OH gosh, I forgot about the easter bunny!!
ROFL
DYK I took the non-comittal approach and let it drop.
If you email supernanny, throw in a line about my santa debaucle would ya?
DYK did I type Eater Bunny!?!?!
DYK I get visions of a killer carnivorous rabbit?
DYK funny!?
DYK better you than me? I have no good answer to that. I have no idea how to deal with that. Parker would be in serious trouble. However, he has no sensory issues. He's got no excuse.

DYK in 3.5 years -literally since she was a baby - I've not found a single approach that works.
DYK when we have a yard she can run scream and throw things in (rocks, sticks leaves, branches, herself) I think our life is going to change.
DYK I think Abigail has moved beyond arts and crafts, so for a while I"m just not going to buy them and then when I can get some one on one time with Deklan maybe I'll do some with him since he loves glue. He gets to glue at school, too.
DYK I have tubbed up a LOT of the toys that just get scattered and I gave 2 trash bags FULL of really nice toys to my niece.
DYK I sure will.
DYK Sean got home.
DYK his eyesight seems to be failing.
DYK He told me to get out of the house - go return the movie to Kroger -
DYK I said um, no LOOK at me.
DYK He goes, you look fine.
DYK um, what?!?! Greasy hair, broken out skin - no make up - sweats, I am about to break a sweat just picking up toys... lol
DYK yeah I am one hot mama.
DYK I applaud your patience? I don't think I could handle it. I can admit my flaws and one of them is that I'm not patient. I don't deal well with bad behavior. I expect obedience. I know kids will be naughty sometimes but I can't just let it slide. I don't know what I'd do in your shoes. Probably cry a lot.
DYK you should comfort yourself with the thought that on your worst days you manage to hold it together and many people wouldn't? I'd be one of those.
DYK honestly, I think I'd be in counseling?
DYK Sean better make a HUGE deal of Mother's Day for you!?
DYK when she's 20, she'll appreciate everything you did for her?
