make them stop

Its been a tough few nights over here. My little guy has been tantruming, talking back, and just down right nasty. Last night, my older one, had his meltdown. Its been a very long few nights.

So, were back to square one. The rules are in place and they will have to pay their consequences.

Rule 1: If homework is not down at after school, then as soon as they get home they have to do it. Not when they want.

Rule 2: No talking back. They can lose chips or take a time out.

Rule 3: Picking up after themselves. They have a tendency to just drop what ever is in their hands on the floor when they dont want it.

Rule 4: WHen they are having a meltdown, they can either go on the mini trampoline and jump, or lose chips. If need be, for my older son who 'gets stuck' we can do a hug or our secret handshake.

Rule 5: When they are mean to each other with words, then for every bad thing they say, they can either lose a chip, or say something nice back.

Rule 6: Inappropriate Language: lose of chip, or have them come up with something better then poo poo head.

Rule 7: No more computer games or play station on school nights. It causes nothing but wide awake kids and alot of yelling when we have to shut it off.

It's posted, were done and everyone is clear.

So we will see how it goes, I'll try to be optomistic. So here we go....

THE WAR IS ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
