Can I have some?
welcome to my blog.
a place to post. a place to eat oreos. a place to vent. a place to heal.
i started this blog so i could use a different outlet besides munching on fattening oreos. as if that has done any good... *mind wanders to oreo package in the house...*
then i realized that oreos can be semi symbolic. if you are are that crazy about oreos that is. which... i am.
eating oreos is therapeutic for me. when i am struggling or when i need a pick me up. they have chocolate. and sugar. both of which help lift my mood. not to mention that i eat them soaked with milk, which is my miracle drink.
i post my posts to not only get stuff out. there may be people who read my blog who have been in the same kind of situations as i have. i hope reading them and knowing that others have gone through things like i have, will be to you what eating oreos does to me.
and yes. i didn't capitalize anything in here. i just felt like it. deal with it.
munch up.
Not yet
Ok, so I know I promised a post where I'm talking about retreat? Well this is not it. I need to vent, and what better place to do it than on my own blog?
Why do kids have to push their limits? Bug has been impossible tonight. He does things he know will get me mad, and then smiles when I do. I try to punish him, but that is a game too. He just sits in his time out and plays and all other things. It is driving me crazy and I can't stand it. Other mothers out there... is this just a phase? Will he get over this? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!!!!!!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not a mother but based on my nannying lessons kids are ALWAYS pushing limits. They just want to see what they can get away with and they want to get your goat. He loves seeing you flustered. I dont know why but its just a game kids play I guess. I wish I had advice, but you are doing everything right. GOOD LUCK!
Ok that was me before but I didnt notice Alex was signed. Sorry to confuse you.
I am also not a mommy, but I did nanny for toddler twins for 2 yrs, and they were ALWAYS pressing their limits. I found that if the offense isn't too severe, just ignore them. They do it for the reaction.
I wish I had advice. just keep your cool. my brothers were/are the same way, they think it's a game if you punish them. I am sure you're good, he seems like a pretty good kid compared to some other kids I know.
Dad, to this day, comments on how mad it would make him when I would just give him a big smile when I got into trouble for something. I don't remember doing this.
I never did anything wrong, did I????
:)
Gosh! I cannot believe you have a blog!!! :D Your kids are so cuteee!!!!! just like mummy, SO GREAT! :D
ummm... try to find something good he is doing, and focus on that. ( I know. HARD sometimes) I agree that if it isn't a big deal, sometimes it's ok to ignore it. Pick your battles! :o)
