sanity saver
At the moment my daughters are really at each others throats and doing things to hurt each other, about 90% of the time when they are both home, they are only 3&4 that is most likely why. But when they get really naughty or don't stop screaming, i have to give them time out in their room, for about 5mins, or until they stop screaming depending on how bad they are at the time.... I prefer to do that then to smack all the time. My partner says, that if we give them a smack on the bum, that they will stop or learn to stop doing it. But i think the same thing works if you put them in their room. they don't usually play with things Alicia throws things at her door, and Bai just tries to sneak back out. The same learning process applies, if you do something wrong you go to your room for time out. one day they might learn it, prob take around the same time to learn with smacking. just doesn't leave any marks....lol

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
My mum used to count to 10 when we were kids. We thought it was hilarious and laughed and mimick her behind her back. Now that I have my own kids, when I think Im going to lose it and want to scream mental abuse I stop and count to 10 and think about what I want to say. It actually works! Now my sister laughs at me coz Iv turned into our mother!

I do that sometimes, when my girls have done something naughty, such as draw in a reading book, or rip out pages....they are famous for that..... My eldest daughter Alicia, copies me, but when she gets upset or angry after being told she can't do something, she tells us we have to get out of her house and then starts counting to 8....lol I can't help but laugh sometimes. Alicia stayed with my mum last w/e when i had to go to hosp with Bai. I have a 17yr old, a 15yr old and a 10yr old brothers. So she loves all the attention anyway joe my 15yr old bro was playing with her, and had been giving her piggybacks etc, but his back started hurting, so she got real angry with him and said "right you've got 8 seconds to put me on your back or else your out of here...." then started counting they said it was so funny they couldn't help but laugh. So mum had to pretend to tell him off for laughing at her.....
