Discipline may be too hard of a word, but I am fast learning that my DD has a very determined attitude which is fine but I don't want to let her get away with too much and it just be harder to correct in the long run.
I would really like to not use the word No, but what are my other options? All examples would be appreciated.
Unfortunately, I don't get in here very often due to me working full time and DH working shift work but I knwo this is the place that will give me the most honest answers.
Kts: I tell Olivia NO quite firmly and explain why she can't.. for example she is always touching the stereo.. I can't move it so she has to learn that no she can;t touch/. I move her away and say NO you can't touch that because you will break it.. She is touching it less and less these days. Maybe goes near it 2-3 times a day
As for other things.. sometimes she will crack a tanty when putting her in her car seat.. We either ignore or say you have to do this and it will only be for a short time..
Congrats Bekz on your little princess. Do you have any names? Glad to hear that all her parts look to be in order.
Well i am soo happy with Alex. i just went to a teacher/parent thingy that they have at my school every year. Alex is in the top 6 students in his class. Woohoo all my hard work has payed off. He was also invited to the 12 page recorder cup group.
i am off tomorrow to meet jack's teacher. Him and Alex are like chalk and cheese. Jack doesnt want to learn unless there are trains involved. Although today we had a break threw cause he could write with a pink pen. There is light, charlie seems to want to do the same homework as Jack but i dont know whether i should encourage this or send him to play as it is one on one time with Jacky.
Sorry ladies will try to do personals later on. Ethan appears to have a cold with a rash? Going to call the after hours doctor out after 6.
Lauren- Yep, definately hoping for a girl (oops sorry- I mean I don't care either way as long as it is healthy )
kts- Yep, like Nic I use NO a lot. No and shaking my head. Ty gets it- he even stands there shaking his head at himself if he's touching something he' not allowed. Just curious, why don't you want to use no?
Jas- Poor Ethan. Ty's been a bit under the weather lately too, it's not nice for anyone.
Ok, I think that's everyone I missed before.
I am home alone tonight. Dh is in hospital overnight to get an infection cut out of his hand and the bone scraped (ewwww!) Remember ages ago when i said he's put a screwdriver through his hand, playing with the fish tank? Well it turned into a massive bacterial infection and, of course, the pain is killing him it's a good thing the blokes don't have the babies.
So.... eating chocolate for dinner. How's everyone else?
I am just ho humming my way through till the kids go to bed
Once they are asleep I am going across the road ti sit and chat till bed time lol.. don't worry i will have my baby monitor and will be outside and can see my house.. (we are right across the road)
Simon is on night shift.. Its nice to not have to stare blankly at the Tv or computer tonight
yep had my chocolate for dinner too lol. so cant be bothereed tonight.
ash is just beyond feral. hes been so sick this last week, threw up a couple times during the night which wasnt fun, and hes just winging and crying at anything and everything... very frustrating, but i keep trying to remind myself i get cranky when im sick too.
Had to pick him up from childcare today cos he was so miserable.. but i wasnt working so that was ok, but tomorrow i am and am very worried!
Discipline ...what is everyone doing?
