Possessed

What possesses a two-year-old to flood the kitchen with the drinking water from the water cooler, over and over?  And when that gets boring, flood the hallway with cups of water from the bathroom?

What possesses a six-year-old to shake a dirty, wet diaper until the sodden diaper filling has covered everything in the room?

What possesses an eight-year-old to beg and plead for a chicken pot pie, only to take the uneaten, perfectly fine pie and toss it in the trash?

What possesses a ten-year-old to taunt her sister unendingly until it turns into a physical fight, with both girls sporting injuries?


. . . .

What possesses a woman on modified bedrest to think she can handle this parenting gig all on her own?

Times can be hard, but hang in there, girl! It gets better. Sounds like you need to put on your thinking cap and come a with a very good discipline plan. I'm not keen on grounding, but taking away special privileges always worked. I liked to make games for my kids. Cleaning house was "King" or "Queen" time. Each got 5 min. and told the others what to do (small jobs). They would scurry around just waiting for their time to be "queen". I played too and they loved telling me what to do. lol It was fund tho.
