Yesterday was Mother's Day. Billy and Daniel with the help my Muzz brought me an electric pot plant which when you plug it in blooms and closes. Its lovely and I thanked all 3 of my boys my big one included :)
After breakfast Billy and I went to church where we helped the youth group make pancakes for the ladies. it was good I especially like the youth group leader shes a lovely lady.
In the afternoon Muzz and I attacked Billy's room while he was next door playing. Billy wreaks everything. Im afraid hes a vandal. He breaks things. We decided to use Dr Phil's (I like him :) hes so wise) get back to basic tactic. We boxed all of Billy's toys up and took EVERYTHING out of his room. We will give 1 item back for good behaviour. He needs to learn responsibly. He needs to learn that jandals that Muzz brought him are NOT for wreaking with scissors. I am ashamed of him. I hope this works. I hate to think what will happen to him later in life if it doesnt. Also we are worried about what Daniel will learn off him. He watches older children eagarly and with great interest.

I fele I am to blame as I am not giving enough attention to Billy, lets hope Dnaile doesnt leanr too much, but I still feel I am the attention centre seeking from Billy, I think he he is blaming me that I am spending time with Daniel as well as Billy but not enough, like he said that Daniel cannot play with him at all, and I think he is being a vandal to seek attention, then again why does he go out on the weekends etc and plays next door, its not a mother fault its a father to be fault and a seek for attention is not reconised is the fault.
I wonder what other people on here would think to the comment?
I let Billy give Daniel his bottle twice today. He liked doing it especially when I praised them both for doing it so well. I think it teaches Billy responsiblity and it also frees me up which is sooo handy especailly at dinner preparation time.
Muzz dont blame yourself
I don't think anyone is to blame here, unfortunately it's quite a common thing for children to behave that way. Dr Phil is right though, I love what he says too, my daughter likes to hoard and collect utter junk in her room so occasionally when she's out somewhere i go in and declutter everything, she doesn't miss it and I guarantee Billy won't either. Sounds like you and Muzz are doing a good job here.
I like the idea of boxing up all the toys and earning them back. Makes them appreciate them. You're doing good!
I think Jen is doing well, considering she is copping the stress with Billy misbehaving, like wise we all did it when we where young, if I did anything like what Billy did I got a fire shovel on my backside that was 32 years ago, now days you cannot even do that it's known to be too mean and cruel to kids, a little discipline does go a long way epscially with kids now days who are smart mouthed and also cheeky to the older and wiser.
I hope that works for Billy. Just be consistant
Hi! I have visited you before...I just didn't think that I could leave comments because I didn't have a Blogger account. I finally figured it out!
I'm glad that you had a good Mother's Day. I've been meaning to read the Dr. Phil book...I'll have to check it out....I think I need some ideas! LOL
