Yesterday Channery was not a good girl. She insisted on sleeping on our bed and ended up kicking us and moving around. Abt 2 am, she got up and decided to go back to her own bed. I was made to sleep together with her and she knew when I got up and wanted to get back to my own bed so I stayed on till about 5am before I finally made my way back to my own bed. Always find it hard to share a bed with her since she is such a bad sleeping partner. Wondered why she has to move around so much and kicking so much.
Yesterday we went out to leash free park with JJ. The boys did not complete their work so they stayed at home instead. In the end, we found them happily playing and did not attempt to do work at all. They simply enjoyed the warm weather so much. Told Joe we will just take away their priviledges like dining or going out, computer and TV time. Screaming our heads off and smacking them are not working. They have choices to make. Either finish what they have to do or no rewards and priviledges. Charlynn will have Macdonald breakfast on Sat if she finishes her work on time. Boys too if they could finish everything including those that they had not done over the weeks. Yesterday they had the first taste of not having the ice cream the girls have. More to come to make them regret their choices of not doing their work. Saturday they still went to school as I threatened them saying they will stay at home on Wednesday if they missed CL class. Wednesday is their Rugby day so they cooperated.
I am really amazed with the boys willpower to revolt against our wishes. They are die hard stubborn in trying to skip doing work. Why can't they channel their energies and effort in doing the work rather than trying to avoid doing them??
Love them and teaching them the right values is most important.
