[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is when you eat canned beans on toast for supper, and stale cereal without milk. When they cross the line, you pack up and leave immediately. no "just one more chance," no negotiation. Every time, this is the immediate result. They will stop very quickly.[/quote] No, that just teaches them that if you take them somewhere boring, they can escape by acting the fool. You go out, and sit in the car, in the carseats, for a long time (which is like 10 minutes when you're 3), and ignore them until they start asking you what's going on. Then you go back and try again, but you make your shopping "fast" which means they can't choose the cereal, or whatever. Also, think about the fact that you describe your kids with racist words like "off the reservation", and how your attitude might relate to their attitude. [/quote]
