I very rarely spank my childern ,I put them in time out or take something away for a day or so
Chiming in late, but just had to add... Have done with son and step-son both. I never, ever put anything in my kids mouths that I haven't put in mine. So, through trial and error, I have found that the safest, yet nastiest soap so far is the Johns...
You are too funny! :)
Lisa Amott said:I say the same words back to them. It really freaks them out. I do have to admit that I love the word "poop." It is fun to say even at 41 years old. Poop. Poop. It is even fun to type.
You could look at them...
I remember very clearly that my mom made me swallow Dawn dish soap when I was younger. I always said, "I don't know" for everything. My mom use to get so upset and agitated with me. That memory has stuck with me and I'm 30 years old. I have a daug...
You bet ya I get gifts! He knows that if he does not get me something nice, I will take his credit card and get myself something nicer that he would have gotten! I am not just a mean (demanding) mom, I am a mean (demanding) wife as well ;) I hope ...
OK, my son is 4, so not had to seriously think about doing this yet, but.....My mom did it to my bro when he was around 6 yrs old and he put her in her place, he grabbed the bat from her, but off a chunk and chewed it making yummy noises, he was a...
Haven't had a husband in almost - well a long time! I'm on my second batch of kids (the first group is in college and getting married - darn them); but I pretty much raised them to remember my birthday, Christmas, and Mother's day! The gifts have ...
Well Yep - isn't that why foaming hand soap was invented? Works like a charm, rarely have to do it twice!
My husband is not very good about picking out gifts. He always says if Im gonna get something I might as well pick it out myself so it is guranteed to be something I want. Plus if he picks something out he has to pick the most expensive thing he c...
My husband always gets me something. BUT, my Father has NEVER given my Mother anything because, "She's not MY mother" My sister and I laugh about this every year. We can't believe he says this and when we hear of someone else who has this same phi...
Last year was my first Mother's Day. We don't really have money in the budget for gifts (we haven't exchanged Christmas or birthday gifts in several years now), but my husband did come up with a little something. He gave me three cards, three mini...
I do get gifts from my husband. I have a wishlist on Kaboodle with all of my wants needs. He just picks items from that for Christmas, birthday's, Valentine's Day, anniversaries and mother's day. I have a wishlist for personal items, household ite...
I made a gift registry for my husband....Williams Sonoma and Target....he forgot...I never get stuff for any holiday. I have given up.
My husband isn't very good about gifts for any special day - he does pretty good with the non-special days though, like flowers for no reason, crazy guy. But my mom always gave us gifts for Mother's Day, even when we weren't mothers. She always sa...
