Like Kayla. She wets a lot so I put her back in pull ups at night. If she wets, she's to get up and shower. No shower is equal to her saying she's dry. Yesterday the puppy found and brought me a pull up that was equal in weight to himself!!! To me, that's a lie. Staying up for reward time when you know you were bad in school but the teacher didn't e-mail me is a lie. <br /><br />When the twins get corrected, they go into a tail spin and get very defiant before they correct it.<br /><br />Adam has a very strong sense of entitlement. I don't think going into the military as an officer is going to help that much. <br /><br />I don't know if it's entitlement or not, but you know all those flyers about sports and school skate night and such that come home? The kids come home saying, "My teacher said you're to take me skating tonight" or whatever it is. And we go through the, "This mean you are allowed to go if you've earned that privilege with me." I wish the teacher would say something like that. I hate to bother them about it because I've already asked for other things from them lately--like marking Kayla's behavior somewhere on the planner like Kaleb's class does and asking Kaleb's teacher to mark his personally with marker because he changes it. A lot.Kathy Casselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886511489428522492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980635032314035803.post-37785339823599155542013-10-30T09:44:11.696-05:002013-10-30T09:44:11.696-05:00My pet peeve for my boys is the sense of entitleme...My pet peeve for my boys is the sense of entitlement. Drives me bonkers. At one point my son lost everything in his room until he earned it back, and lost all "screen time" (no TV, DS, ipod, etc) for a month. He finally got better, but we have to keep him in check. The other thing that drives me nuts is when he decides he won't talk (my little one doesn't do this yet). My older son will decide that he's done with whoever is talking to him, and just ignore them. I could understand it if it were someone he didn't know, but usually it's his Grandma or something. With my little one, he'll try to get away with things if he sees other kids doing it - but I can usually get his attention with a hand on his shoulder or using his first and middle name. I completely understand not liking how other kids treat their parents. I am not my kids' friend either, I am their mom. I love them too much to let them act like monsters.douglassroommom@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10478073010913010296noreply@blogger.com
