The boy nicely doing his homework?Me? I see the bag- the bag that contains his blanket that I tossed outside in a minute of frustration.
You see, he was sitting down nicely and doing his work, but then he decided to get up and terrorize his sister stealing her blanket-a blanket that just the day before had been missing and caused the end of the world (you can read about that on my photo blog here)-- so I calmly went up to his room, grabbed his blanket from his bed, put it in a bag, and tossed it outside- telling him he would get it back when homework was done.
See this picture, what do you see?
Me? I see a boy nicely doing his homework.And that is some good news.

The first thing I did see was the bag outside lol
ReplyDeleteA boy doing is homework is a great thing!
Ha! Nice. Good strategy. I see a fair bit of that in my future.
ReplyDeleteTotally saw the bag first. :) That might be mean for me to do some day though, since we're in Chicago....
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! Tough love! :) I saw the bag first, too. you go, girl. ;)
ReplyDeleteLol! My girl is the same way about her blanket. Sometimes a mom is gotta to do what a mom gotta do.
ReplyDeleteYep. A missing blanket IS the end of the world - at least in my house. Good for you. Tough love...I think it's tougher for US than it is for THEM. LOL
ReplyDeletefunny! I mean NOT funny, as I recognize the fuming mom who would take one kid's stuff and toss it out the door. Or throw it out. Do you think siblings will ever outgrow terrorizing each other? I was an only child so often I am left baffled. Visiting you from grump grateful's hop!
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for finding a calm way of handling it that worked. And it looks like it worked well, ;).

ReplyDeleteNice! My mother has done the same to me when I was younger!
ReplyDeleteNow that is some creative parenting. Good job, mom.
ReplyDeleteI noticed first that he holds a pencil the same way I do.
ReplyDeleteway to go mom
ReplyDeleteI confess, I saw the bag first, but that's because you asked the question so I was looking for the thing that "didn't fit" in the picture.
ReplyDeleteQuiet homework is good! I recognize that reading series! We don't use it at my school, but it is the one the district uses!
I wish that would work on my kids - you'd have a picture of screaming and crying (and not just the kids).
ReplyDeleteI get so behind sometimes because I can't see pics on your blog at work :(. Now I'm getting caught up driving down the road :) haha. Ok I'm not driving. But I am on my hubs small computer so the first thing I saw was something out by the van tire :) haha
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Love it. You're a hoot. I saw your cute son first....had to spot the bag once I started reading. :)
ReplyDeleteI saw the bag first...but I didn't know it's meaning til I read on. I like you, you are cute!
ReplyDeleteI totally saw the bag first. But I love that you have moments of frustration too. I have been working on my patience and becoming less frustrated since becoming a mom. Patience is NOT what I'm known for!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a great weekend!
I totally saw the bag. Once I read what you wrote I though OH MY GOSH that is SOOOO something I would do too! LOL. Good for you! :)
ReplyDeleteFirst thing I saw was the bag! Probably because I've done the same sort of thing a few times in our house lol. Bet he's going to LOVE that you documented this with a photo :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this!And, honestly, I saw the picture of your son first, then the bag. Nice tactics!
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you! My son constantly does this with my daughter when he should be doing something else and I never can think of what to do!! Now, you've given me a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteSome days, we moms just have to do what we need to do to get it done, there is no shame in that :)
