So its one of those days. The tears just keep welling up in my eyes, I feel as if I have no control. You know its going to be a bad day when your 2 year old starts the day off in Timeout. And yes folks it has gone down hill since then. What do I do, timeout seems to not phase him at all. I don't want to spank his bum everytime. After reading in a book my mom gave me it has no positive outcome. And to top it all off NAP TIME DID NOT HAPPEN!!!!! My break my refresher I had none! And I am going to have another one. What in the world am I going to do with two kids?????? If only I could really hold the world in my hands...

Who says spanking doesn't work!!! I beat you kids every chance I got and you guys turned out ok!!! JUST KIDDING!
Does taking something he loves away help?
I'm sorry it was such a hard day. I guess you have to have some of those bad ones to appreciate the good ones. I guess you will just have to try different things until you find what works for Ty.
I hope today will be a better day.
First off mom that was dads hand print on my butt not yours!!!! Heidi hang in there we all have had those days and chances are you will probably have another. You can have all the advice in the world and it may or maynot help. But I agree with mom find something that he loves and use it, if he is notty. Put him in timeout for 2 min in a streile place. like the step. And IGNORE him until that buzzer goes off. If he is notty again , do it again. Be consistant that is the only way he will know your serious. It works with gav. He hates time out. He kicks, screams, does it all and I have to leave the room and ignore him. Hang in there he will grow out of this notty stage, not all the way but it will get better. And don't ever doubt yourself as a mama. you are a great mom. And the baby will help him have more respect as he gets used to her. Lov yua. if you ever need to cry CALL ME!!!!
So sorry you had such a crappy day....remember that they make these things called telephones. They are really cool, you can dial a number and talk to the person on the other end. J/K You can call any time! ANY TIME! Well sis, if timeout doesn't work, you gotta try something else. Time out along with something else like take blankie away, or a favorite toy. You could try a sticker chart and take stickers off if he is bad. Or like Mom said, just spank his little tan tushie. I am first to admit that yes, I have done it, but only a few times. And results were had. ( I am not cruel) Hang in there, some days are harder than others. Just remember that YOU ARE THE MOM. YOU ARE THE BOSS. YOU ARE IN CONTROL. Love you, and call next time. It's always good to cry to someone.
You must be the first person to ever have a naughty child......... NOT! LOL! You're so cute. Well, I remember when I just had one child it seemed I was so patient with her and I never wanted to punish her, but that soon changed after I realized that I didn't want it to get out of control. What ever you do, you have to stick to it. Hally has timeout on the stairs and Addi has to go to her room, to her bed until she can be nice and come say sorry. Nap time is a must. I don't care if they don't want to, tough. I will keep putting them back in there bed until they understand that mom's not joking around. This only took one time with Addi and now she never ever gets out of her bed at night or during nap time. It's okay to lay down the law with your kids. Don't let them run the house, they NEED to know who's boss, but after it's over they NEED to let them know how much you love them.
sorry, I meant to say, you need to let them know how much you love them.
Oh man, it sounds like you're little man is as big of a handful as ours. I love the little guy to death but I have a lot of respect for my wife who stays home with him everyday...all day.
It's time to tell your husband that you need a girls night out to go shopping or something. It will do wonders!
I'm so glad you have a blog. We've linked yours to ours. (Hope that's okay) Have a GREAT day!!!
