I believe in creative parenting. We must out smart the we ones or there might be mutiny! I try to do strange punishments sometimes just to get their attention and help them remember.
I always say that living in a camper exposes everyone's "uglies". There is no going to a bedroom to stew about something. We cannot hide it or disguise it. Every attitude is out there for everyone to see.
I came up with the idea this morning that every time that someone talks in a negative, disrespectful way they would get vinegar in their mouth. Cody hates vinegar, so I knew it would be really effective on him! I poured it in a small bowl for everyone to see and smell.
So far this morning I did not have to put it on anyone's tongue.
I just got done making some noodles for lunch. I dished up the little one's bowls. As I got ready to hand Naomi her noodles, I took a bite. WOW, those aren't regular noodles!
I accidently put her noodles in the vinegar bowl! I am eating them. It is not so terrible. Naomi tried it and couldn't stand the taste.
I guess my mouth will be the nice one today!
Love and giggles,
Sheri
What do you mean...you never have to use vinegar on me! I'm an angel! The sweetest!
