I’ve been going over and over it in my head for weeks.
The question?
Is Jaxon ready for time out’s?
The answer?
I DON’T KNOW!
I was just talking to someone about it. I don’t think Jaxon is. He doesn’t appear to be a naughty kind of kid. He’s never bitten anyone, he doesn’t scratch, kick, punch or throw things at you. He is a pleasure to take shopping and out to restaurants.
So I asked what exactly would be deemed “time out worthy†behavior? Her answer? He needs to be socially acceptable. Thanks for that. Have you seen the way kids and teens act in public these days?
I asked her what I should do when Jaxon wants something and I don’t think he should have it? Like when I give him a glass of water and he spill’s it out without drinking any of it only to ask for more. Because he wont stop crawling up my legs bitching about it until I give in. What do I do then?
Well that’s easy, you need to set boundaries for him.
How do I do that?
Her answer…I have to go to bed now, busy day, long hours…beauty sleep. You know how it is.
Um, thanks Mum!
Seriously, where is the book about this? Where can I sign up for classes?
Do’s and Don’ts of Parenthood,
7.30 tonight
BYO Alcohol and Tissues
They have classes for woman just about to have a baby. They tell you exactly how to get that sucker out. But when that’s all said and done it’s “hey, raising kids is fucking HARD…and WE don’t know shit about it, so you’re on your own buddy. Good Luck with that there childâ€
Sometimes, I sit and wonder just how the hell I am going to get out of this parenting thing alive. I see that my own mother did it, and Tim’s did it too. I see plenty of woman who got though it and wonder…why don’t you START CLASSES!?!?!?!
Haha I’m with you on that one. But I was a GOOD kid! Nick was the bad one. Not that Lacey’s bad… just headstrong.
Jaxon always looks happy and well behaved. To go through all he has gone through he is so well adjusted and flexible!!! I think he’s great and if he’s not ready for time outs (as in being naughty) then good for you!! Send some my way, cause I think Lacey takes enough time outs for 3 kids.
Also… they don’t have classes but they DO have the What to Expect book for toddlerhood! I bought it at the thrift store for 99cents… I’ll let you know how it goes. So far pretty interesting!
