So my son has taken to cutting things....first sheets, then a punching bag, and now the hammock. This really pissed me off. The claims of "I didn't do it" were total BS. These things are expensive and they are ours not just his. I was in a very angry state after finding the hammock 'injury' and cracked his Call of Duty Wii video game in half. He found it and was obviously a smidge upset......to say the least. He is still not talking to me other than to ask if he can dye his hair black......whatever that means.
Did I go too far?
Sounds to me like time for a little "Love and Logic" action! Some more Wii games and a trip to the pawn shop... heh heh heh... :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting-maybe you should think about following mine?
ReplyDeleteIt is almost Old Testament Biblical, Joey! You know, an eye for an eye! And what is too far anyway? If he were at our house, he'd be lucky to still be standing on his own legs. I agree....Love and Logic!
ReplyDeleteJosie: What is it??? Give me the site!!! I will post it here!!! We are twinkies!
ReplyDeleteWendy!
Can I beat the love and logic into them or does it come in a syrup? I know a lot of people like the love and logic approach but I sometimes think it is a little hokey. I would love to have fewer games. But then I would have to entertain them more and that takes a lot of effort at their age !!!!
HA! Susan that is funny. I wanted to knock him out, but ....he stands 5'7" and is fast as all get out. UGH! I like old school Biblical. I always think WWJD? Jesus would have totally broke that game in half.!!!
ReplyDeleteI stand corrected Wendy M. L&L is not what I was thinking it was. I wS remembering things coming from Parents as TeAchers about L&L seminars that seemed silly and useless. I started reading about L&L and Teaching and it seems pretty up my alley. Thanks for bringing it up .
