So today my best friend calls and asks if I want to meet up for lunch was I still at the mall. We still were as we were getting Caseys two year pics done! So I asked Aubrey a few times what she wanted to do...Go to school or Stay home with mommy and go to lunch with Tina. She choose lunch with Tina a few times.

So Tina gets to the mall and she throws herself on the ground cause she wants to go to school. This is all to familiuar with my kids..Give them a option, double, triple check that decision then when the time comes they flip shit! So I knelt down, whispered very quietly you better get your behind up right now or we will go home now and you will go to bed you made your decision about school. So she quickly got up and walked pouting none the less but walked with us to the car to go to lunch.
I am telling you now...When in public don't yell, don't cry, don't let them see you embarrass just get on their level and whisper something really scary and mean into their ear and they are all yours!
I am a huge believer in giving the "mean look" and whispering threats too. Hey, it does work!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I wish I had the control to do that. I get mad too quickly, most of the time they are running around like crazy children. I usually go with the bribe option!
