(somewhat) .. and good actions means nice life ... bad actions means consequence ... they figure it out fairly fast ...
Again .. this is in our house ... | The first part my children would say "huh". I don't think I've explained that excuses are lies one yet. But I will. My house is decent size and if I didn't yell then I would be up nonstop explaining "please quiet down" so I just yell "enough". Bad mommy. The thing is........mine know how to say "excuse me" and they do it with me just not when I'm speaking with another adult. I don't like that other people may think I have rude children because they are not. I feel ganged up on with the three of them lately. I'm def not a slacker parent. They know they will be held accountable without a shadow of a doubt and that's what I don't understand. Maybe I will start leaving them at karate instead of them knowing I am in the building? Shihan might get rough with my son and freak him out and that worries me. He's an officer and is VERY tight with these kids. The guys who trained us actually do cage matches (ultimate death). These are my babies. They got rough with me like boot camp. lmbo |
