Don't let'em fool ya, they are not as sweet as they look!! Just kidding, just a bit challenging!I am so tired of repeating myself over and over and over again. We definitely need to get a new system of discipline around here cause Fab across the street is likely to call DFACS soon from all the yelling going on! I've tried so hard not to yell, but you can only be ignored so many times by your children before you blow. Well, unfortunately I've blown several times today and even hubby blew once.
This afternoon I told DQ no snack right now, we have to run to the store first. She went in and got a snack anyway. I told her to go to her room to study her times tables, she went to the couch, I told her again, she stayed on the couch. Ugghhh! Then we were checking out a house this evening and hubby wanted to number off the sign. I gave it to him but DQ went running up to the sign near the road. I told her I already gave it to him and she kept going anyway. I yelled that I gave it to him, she still kept going. That's when I lost it. I wanted to strangle her!
I told BB to finish putting away his laundry around 4:30, it's now 8:40 and his laundry still isn't put away. They were both told to do the dishes after supper, they are just now finishing up. They have been running around like wild animals all night after being told repeatedly to settle down. Hubby blew.
Any advice or unique discipline ideas would be much appreciated as I am out of ideas. Don't get me wrong, I have great kids, but they are testing the waters a bit too much these days and I am so frustrated right now! Restriction is pointless because it doesn't really bother them much. They are pretty resourceful little buggers and can find a way to enjoy themselves even in the worst of conditions!!!
Rapidly losing my mind and patience,
