Quick updates

Filed Under: parenting Tagged With: boundaries, discipline, special needs

So much going on, so little time to blog! Here are a few highlights from our house: Zoe is speaking more and more, and speaking clearly! For months she’s been saying “WEEEseee!” in sing song. Yesterday, I realized she was “Who IS it?” (The way they say it on Jack’s Big Music Show. That’s how much clearer her words have gotten. And she’s chattering a

Banging my head on the wall..

Filed Under: parenting Tagged With: discipline, misbehavior, tantrums

Zoe is downstairs, having a radical temper tandrum every 2 seconds.  I’m losing it, she’s three in age, but terrible two in attitude… Amelia is downstairs, being willful and disobedient.  She’s been strong like this for a while, but the last few weeks has really dug in her heels. There is banging. My new sitter is hanging tough, but I’m worried if she will run

First issue of prejudice??

Filed Under: parenting Tagged With: daycare, discipline

Yesterday was awful. The teacher’s assistant at daycare told me Zoe climbed the fence twice. Then the director came up to me and said the same thing. The thing you need to know about the daycare director is that even when things go WELL, she looks like she just ate something that made her sick that she believes could be poisonous. Seriously. I don’t know

Mommy’s Tired

Filed Under: parenting Tagged With: discipline

Well, it’s been a rough couple of days of parenting.  After suffering from a major brain stupidity cloud, I realized that I had NOT put my signed part of Amelia’s IEP in the bag before she got sick.  Teacher had sent me a mailer and I thought it was something else. DUH. Yesterday was the crowning piece.  Someone left the 2nd outdoor gate open at

Discipline is Hard

Filed Under: parenting Tagged With: discipline

Yesterday was a wild challenge with Amelia. A food challenge, of course. It was dinner time and I KNOW she was hungry as she was asking for cheese and PBJ sandwiches. I made chicken, rice and applesauce. I had a coupon for an ice cream shop too. Since it was the Friday after payday, I thought it might be fun to try the new place,

Bad Mommy Days

Filed Under: just for mom, parenting Tagged With: anger, discipline

I’m thinking that you’re thinking after yesterday’s post, that all is well and good with parenting and me. Not so. In fact, it’s been VERY difficult lately.  Usually I turn to God and prayer for help, but it seems the more I do the further I get from doing good with my kids.  I’m too exhausted to set schedules, and continually put Amelia on the

Catching Up

Filed Under: just for mom, parenting Tagged With: discipline, family

OK, so I’ve got this great new blog and nothing to show for it, in terms of entries! I’m sorry. It’s been difficult, I don’t even really care for the design but haven’t been able to put one together for myself yet. It’s been really tough lately. Amelia who is now 4.5, is acting up a lot. I get very discouraged because I feel like

Learning: Discipline, Spanking and the Preschooler

Filed Under: just for mom, parenting Tagged With: discipline, family

In case you’ve all forgotten, this IS a blog on parenting, and I’ve been wanting to share some things I’ve learned about discipline and the energetic three year old. It’s a good thing I DIDN’T, because I’ve learned even more since I wanted to blog about spanking, and even more since I decided to share some firsthand experiences. In fact, I discovered a 4 part
