We picked up the oldest from school each day, provided help with homework, fed them dinner, played with them, did fun activities with them, and put them to sleep. (Daddy picked them up at the end of his night shift). We treated them well and they were almost a part of our family. We did many things they did not get to do at home because both parents worked...like coloring together, story time, and singing songs. The younger had some issues and the parents assured me that I should put her in time out, or talk with her about her behavior. And then let them know about it. One afternoon she hurt our daughter (15 months old, and this little girl was 3), took away her toy and then stood up and threw it at her face. It all happened so quick and was very unexpected. So, it finally came to the point where we needed to sit her in a chair in time out (she was in the same room with us and we did not raise our voices or anything...it went really well actually.) We talked about being nice, sharing, not taking toys from babies, etc. and ended it with a hug and went on with the day. During time out (all of 5 minutes) she had a chance to cool off and we didn't have a problem the rest of the day. So at the end of the night we told the dad what she had done, and how we dealt with it. The mom got really upset, and did the "she is allowed to do whatever she wants at home thing" and they never brought them back. It was interesting. I would have been appalled if I found out my child did that and appreciated the way it was dealt with. But maybe I'm strange. And by the way...you shouldn't have to provide diapers, or special food! lol. Lucky you dodged that one! :)Briannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01356656928644374601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169236576499727724.post-75242677389984269372010-01-06T09:19:00.840-07:002010-01-06T09:19:00.840-07:00okay so there are worse moms out there then me.
