There are times when both of these boys remind me of girls. They argue, fight and yell at each other. And forget sharing anything..the corner does not do the trick any more. I have to get more tough on them.
So, I threatened military school.
The fear on their faces starts to show, ND starts to tear up...
To add to the fear I went online and found several names of schools that takes small boys. I have also pretended to call the "commander" of the school about picking them up.
I have shown them that your mommy and daddy are not there, and most important there are no toys.
However the fear has fallen on deaf ears this week. So... I showed them the appointment card for new haircuts tomorrow morning. I said you can't go to military school looking like scruffs...
Then I showed them this video:
That's Right! Its a Russian boys military camp! Oh my Lord, I think the blood drained completely from both ND and NW.
"your sending us to Russia"? they both asked."But you will miss us"
Well, it did do the trick.. all I have to mention now is "Russia" and they snap too...
I know..I am a mean mother.....
