I need a vice on how to get my older two kids to help me pick up after themselves they don't want to pick up their toys they don't want to pick up the garbage they throw down what do I do about it I've tried taking things away I'll try taking TV away I put them in the corner but spanking is not an option for me any other advice that help me out
I agree with the other ladies, any toys found on the ground after a certain time limit get put in a big bag and donated !
With the trash situation, I would simply say if any of your trash is being left on the floor or getting thrown behind the couch you will no longer be allowed to eat beyond the kitchen table. Every time I find 1 peice of trash you will be doing "blank" chore to make up for making the house messy. Such as sweeping or vacuuming. Hold to your guns because mice and any other bugs the trash will attract would be way worse then discipline!
Make it a game. See who can pick up the toys fastest.
Give consequences for not doing what they’re told.
Reward food behavior when they do pick up their toys
I have tried making it a game it's like I'm not talking to him I'm talking to myself an I don't like dirty house so I just do it my self I guess that's where I messed up at
Limit eating/snacking to only the kitchen table. No eating in any other room. And I third the ‘throwing away’ of the toys. I still have to use that tactic with my 5yr old on occasion & I’ve kept toys from him for a month before. And other times when his behavior is very bad. I make him put everything in the bag & we’ve went & donated it that day. Kids need to be reminded that moms are not slaves & they are capable of being independent. And they need shown that not ever kids has the toys they have & they need to be taken care of our they go to a new home that will appreciate them more. Sometimes tough love is needed.
Thank you girl I have told him that an it like I'm talking to the wall he will also be 7 in April an it's getting to me bad it like I'm still taking care of a toddler 🤦
Being a mom 24 yrs of my life 👌 take the Broom and a big black lawn garbage bag Tell them it’s clean up time or whatever is on floor and not organized in a toy bin or shelf is going in here ! It works u will see them run after the first broom sweep hahah they are definitely old enough to understand at 8&6yrs old and make them donate toys to kids who have nothing in shelters too so they can appreciate what they do have !
I'm goin to so do that. But the main thing is my son he likes to throw his garbage like snacks and stuff that he eat he tries to hide them under the couch or just throw them on the floor.. I have tried telling him he don't want to live like a slob an to pick his stuff up an he just refuses to so anything for me he also has behavior problems that we r trying to work on
@mommyof32019, by 4th grade i taught my son’s as well to do their laundry they had a basket for dirty clothes and they learn to be organized,no one is a maid by 8especially he’s capable to not hide wrappers and to get up and not be lazy to throw in trash
A little tough love? “Throw away” the stuff they won’t pick up (just hide it) and be like if you’re going to treat your things like you don’t care about them then you don’t need them.
I have tried that I tell them if they clean up an keep house clean I would give them money every Friday an it worked for one whole week lol
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
I don't care what ppl think of me, but I'm seriously considering putting my baby up for adoption. I love her with all of heart, but doing this alone is hard. Every single night she just screams to the top of her lungs and I do everything to soothe her. I don't know what to do at all. I wish I had some kind of help. I don't have a single ounce of help. I don't know a single soul in Minnesota either.
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
So my bf just beat the hell out of my dog and idk what to do now. I want to leave but don't have my paper yet to take my dog with me anywhere I go
I agree with you ladies that's y I feel like all I do is clean so I don't get all them nasty bugs an stuff but I'm about to have to do something about my son my girl isn't as bad she will try me sometimes but my son I have tried everything an he just asks like he is the boss an not me
