[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 1478632, member: 1242"] This. Spend your time with the kids, not laying down laws and making threats. Kids are tough and resilient ... they will beat you at your own game simply because they are younger and less tired than you. ;) Besides ... the day will come when you would DIE to have this time back, believe it or not. Go get a trash bag and help him clean his room ... then go do something he wants to do, not something you think he would like to do. Same thing with the little girl who isn't learning her states like you want. Try working with her instead of issuing edicts and punishing her all the time. Help her learn her states and then take her to the spa for a manicure (clear polish) when she has them down pat. Two sayings come to mind here ... there is more than one way to skin a cat and you get more flies with sugar than with salt ... Dammit guys, I miss my babies now ... :crying: [/QUOTE]
