I have been scrapping, trust me, after monday I can show you lots of christmas cards and lo's, ugh! who wants to scrap christmas stuff in September??!! This Sunday and Monday I will be demonstrating this christmas stuff at the KKD. Last week jadenn came home with a note that he could get his diploma for swimming, but it is on the 6th, which is this Sunday. I am so sad not to be able to be there. tried to see if he could do it another date but that is almost 4 weeks later and by that time he can have his second diploma. So this sucks. Need to tell DH how my camera works, help!!! praying for at least one good shot.

yesterday evening the kids were not listening, again. so I warned them a couple of times and than said this is my last warning if you continue bugging each other than you will get to go to your bedrooms to continue your diner there and straight after you will go to your bed! well.......of course they thought I wasn't serious so a few minutes after my last warning the started again. I stayed calm and said Anthony, Jadenn take your plate to your bedroom now. Anthony started to say NO, NO, I am sorry I will listen! But this time I wasn't falling for it. they went up with a lot of screaming, crying and cushing from Anthony, hysterical I tell ya. But they eat there meal, thought they could play after that again downstairs, but nope, up again into your beds.....hysterical again. But they slept at 6.30.
I think I need to do this more often, maybe they will listen sooner to me, now I am just a joke for them, but no more. The mommy you can walk all over is gone and here is the mommy you better listen to or else, hehe!

Ok off to finish my list.....I am tired.

Good for you!

Goed gedaan Corinne! Het is even slikken, maar niet toegeven en consequent blijven is het beste "in the long run"... je zult zien dat de eerlijke en consequente aanpak snel zijn vruchten begint af te werpen en geloof me, het leven wordt er, zowel voor jou als voor de kinderen, een stuk duidelijker, simpeler en vooral prettiger op!

Jammer dat je niet bij het afzwemmen kan zijn!
Ik zie je zondag en maandag!(slaap jij ook in het hotel?)
Groetjes!

Good on you for sticking to your guns! & keep it up! both me & my brother used to fight like mad & embarrass my poor mum in public until the child phycologist told her that we were doing it deliberately, testing the boundaries & that she had to give us one warning & then if we didn't listen do what ever she had said she was going to do - like on a day out if we didn't stop we would go straight home - needless to say we didn't that first time & went home! We soon started listening & even had some pre thought to our next bad/naughty thing by asking if we did something what would be the punishment! LoL
It also has to be backed up by the other parent even if they don't agree at the time - never say that in front of the kids, as they will divide & conquer!
I've used this idea many a time with the kids I used to look after & it works every time!
good luck
