DYK Thread for
October


**For those uncertain to what a DYK thread is......**


DYK stands for Did You Know or Do You Know


It is simply a chit chat thread where every thought is written in sentences and each sentences starts with the initials DYK---it is fun, entertaining and a great way to meet the board members


Below are some fun DYK blinkies--feel free to snag any if you like:

i know the feeling. If i would have let jackie eat alone she would have loved it. SO i make an effort to make her do the things she does not want to do. I had a nice dinner the other night its just she was droopy but if i would have left her at home she would not have learned anything. She would have been happy to say the least. She wanted to go sit in the car by herself. I refused. She did pull it again on sunday but I clipped that quickly. After that this week has been great. we actually finally compromised on her costume yea for me.

DYK I've started saying to Rach, ok is that a yes or no? That seems to have stopped the whatever response ;-)

DYK also "this is so stupid" but we just say "I understand but just do it anyway" & that usually quiets her ;-)

DYK if they're hungry enough they'll eat it ;-)


DYK we usually just make the girls eat whatever it is they don't want the next meal or next night for dinner...that's usually good enough to solve the problem


DYK but yes, I tell DH its the sense of entitlement...my girls sometimes think they should get all these things, mostly material but what they don't fully understand is its not handed to them, they *gasp* have to work for them

DYK DH & I will say we aren't short order cooks & can't make different meals for each family member...and then if we're really pissed we say then if the dinner is so bad then why don't you make the next meal


DYK and that means dinner for EVERYONE not just what you like.....then we can say we want something else to whatever one makes....that is a good enough reality check for both of them


DYK usually at that point they are quiet & stop complaining

DYK glad you didn't have to argue too much about the costume


DYK this age is always an argument about most things....very few times I ask Rach to do something w/out some questioning or argument


DYK wish they just would comply cuz at the end they see the logic once u explain but it would get done faster if they didn't argue LOL (but then there's no fun for them eh?

I am with you on that one.She can at least say no thank-you.Although I will admit to kind of losing it when she gets this way sometime.
