I have been reading Love and Logic. I am working on becoming a better parent to my wonderful well behaved children. Even well behaved children have issues.
Yesterday Bobby had one of those days. He was sirley, snarky, and just plain disrespectful. I told him last night that I needed to cool off before deciding how to deal with his attitude. I told him he would receive the punishment this morning at breakfast. After all the kids were in bed last night, Rog and I talked and prayed about this situation. This morning at breakfast we were united and prepared to talk to Bobby. The consequence is he must spend the entire day in his room. He will be allowed to go to the bathroom. I will go get him for meal times. Yesterday he was unbearable to be around, so today he will be alone, where no one has to deal with his attitude.
The girls both got up very cranky so they have been put back to bed. I think that their allergies are bothering them, I know that mine are bothering me.
Chris's therapy for this afternoon has been canceled so I can mark that off my list of things to do today.
So while the girls are down I have free time. Now to decide what I am going to do with my free time. There is always housework to be done. I was thinking doing something for me, in this rare moment in time.
God Bless
