W. has made a new best friend, S. I'm so glad, as he was getting too comfortable with ONLY playing with the kids across the street. Constantly. They are good kids, but I wanted him to broaden his inner circle a bit.
S. is a great kid and has a fantastic personality. He is a perfect fit for W. I keep saying they were twins separated at birth. They have become inseparable since school let out.
That is, until tonight. Because tomorrow and the next day, W. went and got himself grounded. He was overtired from all of the events of the holiday week and decided to test mama's patience. He came home from dinner, with S. and his family, and proceeded to throw one of his infamous temper tantrums. It was bedtime and I said that S. couldn't come in to play.
I'm such a bitch aren't I?
So, to make a long, loud, story short. He's stuck in the house for two days. No friends. No video games.
I think I just punished myself.

Hey Mrs. Schmitty!
I'm Jake and I love your blog. I just started reading it these past few days. I have a question: Where did you get the template with two sidebars? Please email me at jointhemuter@gmail.com or comment me on my blog: Tales of a Dysfunctional Family
Thanks!
I hate grounding because of that very reason!!! I do not look forward to that at all!
BTW, in RE to your comment about weight loss... check out my Losin' Together Blog. I blog with a friend of mine to keep accountable. We log our emotions, eats and exercises. Thanks for your comment!
LOL! I feel your pain!!
Oh yeah, You did.
I like to give out extra chores as punishment. But, taking away the tv seems to be the one thing that works the best. Sucks for me but it usually gets them to remember the lesson I am trying to teach. Still I like the extra chore idea, even if it doesn't really work.
I hate grounding...more for me than them. They mope around and it drives me nuts. Good luck!
The parents always get screwed in these punishments. I used to ground my son from the computer, but then he expected me to play with him! No fair, I say! ;)
LOL - I'm getting caught up reading blogs and I can't wait to see how YOUR punishment turns out. Just know we're there for you!
What a Schmitty mom you are! YEAH!
