When we were kids, a week's vacation from school was wonderful. As grown ups, with our own kids, sometimes we need a break! Cody did not end his last day of school before vacation well. He got suspended for playing around and kicking another kid at school in line. Lovely. So Friday he was suspended for one day of school. Now instead of all the things I planned to do, I have to punish him (which means I am punished too). I am hoping that he is learning his lesson. He hasn't been able to do anything except read books, write lines and chores. He is scrubbing my shower down with a scrub brush as we speak. I hope a week long punishment is enough to teach him "KEEP YOUR HANDS AND FEET TO YOURSELF". Sigh.
You know... I got three bathrooms that could use a grounded kid's touch... I'm just sayin'... if you ever run out of things for him to do. HAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteAll I have to say is you sound like a Mean Mother; I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteHOW TO BE A MEAN MOTHER
A mean mother never allows candy or sweets
to take the place of a well-balanced meal.
A mean mother insists on knowing where her
children are at all times, who their friends
are and what they do. A mean mother breaks
the Child Labor Law by making her children
work…washing dishes, making beds,
learning to cook and doing other cruel and
unpleasant chores.
A mean mother makes life miserable for her
offspring by insisting that they always tell the truth…
A mean mother produces teenagers who are
wiser and more sensible. A mean mother
can smile with secret delight and pride
when she hears her own grandchildren
call their parents “mean”.
What the world needs now are more
Mean Mothers and Fathers.

What a good mom you are. Yes, sometimes punishing them punishes us...and it's HARD...but a good mom does the right thing.
