[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever to the pp's who think OP doesn't have punishments.  Not OP here.  We have punishments and time outs, but we don't call them that, because there came a point when our strong willed kid who would not listen didn't adhere to the boundaries realized she could do whatever she wanted.

I am sure if her kid is doing this kind of crap, he's doing other kind of crap, and there are consequences.  They just don't feel like punishments, but just setting boundaries.

We set boundaries, there are consequences and punishments, though we don't think of them like that.  We only think of them as reinforcing the boundaries in a way that makes sense to her.  And DD is always trying to figure out how to one up us.

The soap.  It's not everyday, just some days when her or one of her playdate friends decides they are going to dump the $10 liquid soap into the sink.

OP, maybe there is some way you can reposition or lock it down so that isn't possible, but help DS get bubbles when he wants them. I am rereading now and I get it.  He wants bubbles, like my DD.  Right now she can't reach the soap on her own or get it out on her own, just by the accidental setup we have.

I will pour a little dish soap in the sink when she wants bubbles.  It is not a problem.  Especially if we had OP's situation and she was losing all the soap![/quote]

It seems you need to find a new system of boundaries like OP.

Also how nice of you to blame another child for you inability to teach your daughter  self control and respecting boundaries.[/quote]
