Daddy told the kids we would start charging them for every item of clothing on their bedroom floor that was not dirty before they dumped their basket and walked on it. To many things that were still folded were coming back to the laundry. <BR/>I also pay for jobs performed shortly after the request was named. Not always, but classical conditioning works well. My oldest son, 14, cleaned the boys room without being sked yesterday. None of his brothers/room mates helped. Therefore, next payday Tom gets the computer game he wants and his brothers do not get to use it. He also knows his password for my new pc and his siblings do not know theirs. He has unlimited pc access, the younger kids accounts are set for 1 hour between 3 and 8 pm only...mommeeof10https://www.blogger.com/profile/03611832953435781430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292921261406125884.post-40293418156876420992008-09-01T21:27:00.001-05:002008-09-01T21:27:00.001-05:00LOL When they create a pill for that then we can g...LOL When they create a pill for that then we can give it to my daughter who's new favorite word is SORRY said so sarcastically that there is no way in heck she means it.

Mom said, "Sorry, honey, but I just bought a new dress for that, and there just aren't enuf $$ available for both of us to get one!" Daughter makes just an awful face and cries, "Moomm! We're both going to the same dance?!? Eewww!"<BR/><BR/>Later, Father's looking at his son's report card and criticizing his low math score. Son says, "Dad, that teacher's just horrible. He doesn't know the first thing about how to teach math!" Dad returns, "Nonsense! I had him last year, and he was great. Now, get upstairs and study!"Goldenrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246352554498015300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292921261406125884.post-83998303670871948642008-08-31T12:58:00.000-05:002008-08-31T12:58:00.000-05:00Nut - (love that name!

LOL!<BR/>=====================<BR/>Dragonstar - Wouldn't the insurance companies just love having to pay for all THOSE calls! They'd break their knecks rushing to get the exclusion clauses written and published. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the kind works. Coming from you, I know they are spot on!<BR/>===================<BR/>Vanessa - Good luck. It's gonna get worse before it gets better... sorry to have to say. ;o)<BR/>==================<BR/>Brats' Mom - ROFL!! You're welcome!<BR/>===============<BR/>Lisa - Threaten to make 'em all sleep in the same room in the new house. That'll fix their snotty little wagons! LOL!

LOL. Hang in there!<BR/>=================<BR/>Brandi - 1. With the girl it could also result in me getting my rear end kicked, too! LOL!<BR/>2. We tried lots of variations on paying for performance. She couldn't care less about money from me because she has her own job now. Good thought, though. 3. Actually, it's really not as bad advice as it sounds. Sometimes we (ME) get so wrapped up in wanting things done when and how we want 'em that the resulting tunnel vision causes misery for everyone. Sorry I wasn't clear about that... It's a matter of picking my battles better. 4. Do as I say, not as I do! JUST KIDDING!! ;o) 5. AMEN ON THAT PRAYER THING! <BR/><BR/>And NO you ARE NOT super critical. As always, you are warm and caring and I love you for it!<BR/><BR/>6. The ONLY consequence she cares about is the cell phone. And I use that often. Asking her thoughts is NEVER a good idea because the answer is ALWAYS that I just should leave her alone. The power outage thing might work if it weren't for a certain soft hearted old man in the house. LOL 7. Yes it does fit right in with #6 and with my response to #2.<BR/>8. I do that most of the time... and she responds with "yes ma'am" afterward. GRRRRRRR.<BR/><BR/>LOL! As the old preacher said about his favorite bible verse... It came to pass. Than God this will too. <BR/><BR/>I love you, too! xoxoxoDamama Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433392172815959276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292921261406125884.post-64666250048094083482008-08-30T23:46:00.000-05:002008-08-30T23:46:00.000-05:00Gosh, I wish i got a calm "yes ma'am" and noncompl...Gosh, I wish i got a calm "yes ma'am" and noncomplience instead of the description SgtSudsWife gave... and I get that from a 9yo boy!

Careful, thi...My responses to your possibilities:<BR/><BR/>1. Careful, this one may result in an increase in the anger and defiance.<BR/><BR/>2. Warning, this may cause said youth to come to expect more and more payment as time goes on. Perhaps you could set an amount she will get if she follows through every time. Then, if she doesn't follow through, subtract a set amount from the total for each infraction. (see also possibility number 7.)<BR/><BR/>3. Hmm...did that counselor have children? If so, where are they now?<BR/><BR/>4. This may get the response of, "You do/don't do it!".<BR/><BR/>5. Be careful how you pray! Try praying for the patience to deal with your current situation. If you only pray for patience, then even more trials requiring patience may come your way. <BR/><BR/>Wow, I'm super critical aren't I?<BR/><BR/>A couple more possibilities (for you to pick apart):<BR/><BR/>6. Make the consequence fit the crime. Ask her what she thinks would be fair and decide together what the consequences should be. Be sure she understands the consequences ahead of time. (i.e. If she leaves on her lights, then cut the power to her room for a set amount of time. You may have to padlock your breaker box for this one. Or, have her pay for a portion of the electric bill.)<BR/><BR/>7. Fine her for infractions. This could also fit in with the consequence them of number 6.<BR/><BR/>8. Require her to make eye contact and repeat back the response.<BR/><BR/>Don't you wish she was a toddler and you could just take her hand and walk her through the steps?<BR/><BR/>Hang in there Damama!
