Eventually they get tired of it, and sit, and scream and cry. But I just let them sit. When the stop crying, I come and get them up.<br /><br />Now, when I say, "Sit" they do it.<br /><br />Hmmm... does this mean I'm treating them like a dog?<br /><br />Now I'm worried....Krista Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10772828583379163612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845244417955383898.post-73202929319150048062009-10-22T18:49:32.717-04:002009-10-22T18:49:32.717-04:00This is SO true!

I'd just read. I was perfectly content.<br /><br />Oh, but was mother perfectly content? No. She figured out my clever ploy and always made me sit at the kitchen table from that point on . . . without a book in sight. Oh, the cruel memories of childhood . . . and fodder for my next book.<br /><br />Do you realize that out of all my siblings, I was the only one who didn't join the Indian Guides or Cub Scouts. My brother did. My sisters were in Blue Birds and Girl Scouts. But I, the youngest and most favorite child of all, did none of that. I'm going to have to have a serious talk with my mother about my deprived childhood.<br /><br />Great, MaryBeth, see what you did with your post about discipline? You brought back traumatic childhood memories. Great. Fine. Dandy. I need a massive glass of wine now.<br /><br />SScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905515473737579937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845244417955383898.post-9042049374205995562009-10-22T15:37:55.682-04:002009-10-22T15:37:55.682-04:00every. single. time.every. single. time.Foursonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07470306593323990269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845244417955383898.post-12612312983781212082009-10-22T13:41:02.835-04:002009-10-22T13:41:02.835-04:00You crack me up!
