OMG � We went to a thing at the park and he had an amount of freedom like all the other kids we knew there.�
�He ran away laughing when I said it was time to go. �I got close enough so he could hear and said, "if you don't get here now you're grounded". �He laughed and ran again. �He's spending the day in bed. �Now he knows what grounding is. � Poor baby. �His very first grounding. �Also if we go anywhere fun in the next few weeks he's going to have to stay real close to mamma like he's a toddler and I'm going to tell him every time it's because I need to be able to trust him to come when I call him if we're not at the house. �YMMV
You never answered so I don't know if my first post was "liked". � I really don't know if this post is even helpful. �I've told him, Now you know what grounding is. �This is the worst thing possible. �If I say, stop or you're grounded, this is what it means.
If it helps he's come up with everything there is to say on the subject on his own today. . . �from, "next time I'll listen when you tell me it's time to go", (( that's true, but you're still grounded. . . �to, "time out is better"... to, "let me up before I call you dummy". �Name calling's a hot button topic lately. �What does, "mommy I love you" have to do with "please let me watch the movie" ?
