Stop It!!!

Published on December 14, 2004 By Texas Wahine In Home & Family

Stop screaming!

Stop fighting!

Clean your room!

I'm going to put you in the corner!

Stop teasing your brother!

I can't take the yelling anymore!

Stop it, now!

*sigh*

Save me, Jebus.

Why don't you just lock them in a small closet, and neglect to feed them until they promise they'll be better? Oh, that's illegal...

ha ha ha

If I thought I could get away with it, I just might do it. Unfortunately, I think they might tell on me.

Geesh, I hear you! Trust me, I can empathize. Sometimes bedtime just can't come soon enough.

BlueDev: Gaaaah . . . you do understand, don't you?

I suggest this: set all the clocks in the house ahead an hour, then fool the kids into thinking it is bedtime--a full 60 minutes early!

Tonight, that is. I don't think you can trick them into heading to bed when it is only, what, 5:40 there?

But if you put them to bed too much earlier then you know you are shooting yourself in the morning, as they end up getting up at, oh, say 4:30 am. True freaking story. I learned my lesson.

They're too smart to fall for that . . . gotta figure out something more devious.

Mmmmh, how about they enroll in some tennis training in the afternoon. They just come back exhausted after that

Bedtime for the kids is my peace time. I totally hear ya, Tex. We had to actually institute a temporary rule for Rachel tonight. She was not allowed to speak to her brother, Joshua, for any reason. She was being so mean, so we thought we would show her what it would be like to not have an older brother. Don't think she liked it much.

Whenever bedtime gets close, I always tell Zombie, "I am done playing with those three toys. I want to put them back on the shelf until tomorrow."

I feel for you.....May bed time come soon!

That's a really good idea. I have that same problem -- my oldest is always taunting his little brother and being very mean to him.

Try turning all the clocks in the house back 2 hours...(close to evening) so bedtime will come much earlier

It's a good plan, but my kids are old enough to sense that it's not bedtime (plus they know what times their shows come on ha ha ha).
