Is it summer or what? You made me feel better just by knowing I’m not the only mom having a “Bad” day if that helps any. I think I am having a very similar day…is it over yet? Any ideas on how to fix it? As my lovely daughter would say..it’s a three “Tab Energy drink”day for mom! Only problem is I’m all out!!!
that was me yesterday, only my son *(age 8) had to write, “I will never hit a girl.” (in hopes of making him a civil adult male someday in the far distant future!)

Oh, it really is one of those days. If Abigail could write, she would be *sitting* in a chair writing “I will not stand on chairs.” She is really testing the limits today, finding out if Mommy really means it when she says “No”. I know this is how she learns, but, MAN, I wish it wasn’t so frustrating!
Is it just one of those days for every one? I love this post simply because I can relate so well, although we haven’t tried out this particular form of discipline at our home. Hmmmm, may have to in the future.
Bless your heart, darlin’ friend. I’ve had those days, too. Today I just decided to let the TV have them rather than fight it! Prayin’ for you, Shannon!

I was having a day like that last week with a 7 year old who kept calling her brother George and making him cry. I now am the proud owner of 2 sheets of paper with the name George covering them. š
I hope your day got better!
Yes, but won’t that be a cute thing to pull out when he’s a big-time exec somewhere fighting with his employees, or maybe he’ll be a pro-wrestler … he’ll love seeing that!
Sorry your day has gone so roughly!
Okay, this probably should not strike me as hilariously funny. And I apologize that in my childless state I cannot fully understand your pain. But I love the fact that he wrote sentences and you got pictures!
If it’s any consolation I think you could frame and sell that picture…maybe they’d take the *artist* too? š

I showed this to my kids as a warning. We’ll see if it worked.
Hey! What were you doing at my house?

I’m praying for you right now, Shannon. You’re going to need it I think…
Now are you sure you should blame this on Stephen? That looks suspiciously like your handwriting to me.

Good idea to have him write that! Maybe it will make him think twice next time?
Ah! Those days STINK!
I love it, I love it, I love it!!!!!
Remembering this one for future writing days with my toddlers!
Bless you, friend. Hang in there. š
Does this consequence work for biting too? No. I only wish I was joking.

Ah, one of THOSE kind of days. I see. Only wish my older two (ages 13 & 11) weren’t still guilty of this.

One time I made them keep their hands in their pockets for about 30 minutes and keep on with their day. It cured it, for that day anyway.
What a day! I’m sorry!!
