OMG with a half an hour of screaming and crying and "Somebody help me, I don't want to sleep by myself" Dear lord. I am just recovering. Decidedly UNCUTE.
TV on Saturday is gone, books tomorrow night, also gone.
Oh, ack, msbelle. I hope the Uncute passes quickly, and doesn't come back much.
Aw, msbelle, that's rough. That was always a big consequence here -- misbehavior results in no bedtime books. And the threat of it was usually enough to at least mitigate some stuff. All our kids have been very into the bedtime reading ritual.
Because I am so terribly lazy, though, I'm always leery of taking TV away, because with kids of a certain age it seems like the punishment is more yours than theirs.

"Somebody help me, I don't want to sleep by myself"Oh my goodness, that's not fair.
This Saturday is an easy day to take away tv. he has a party, then company, and it is supposed to be nice so then outside time.
Really not a punishment withteeth, but he doesn't quite get that yet.
ok. I'm going to bed also.
Poor msbelle.
ION, I'm watching Monday's Colbert, and I'm reminded of a funny thing my father told me. He works in a call center doing political fundraising, and recently heard the guy next to him say, "...no, not John Fucking Kerry, sir..." Heh.
Ack, msbelle, that's tough.
Does it make any sense that the part of my book order that was shipped Friday still hasn't arrived, while the part that was shipped Monday arrived yesterday?
