Brilliant!
Thnk you, Deana. 🙂
oh been there ‘ good one (((xx)))
Thanks, Len
Haha nice one
Many thanks, Boomie.
Lol. That was a headed math session.
I tell you. I had to stay aside while they had it out. 🙂
I remember those times but it was my Dad & spelling with me! Totally get your writing!
Thanks Marie. 🙂 But I bet you didn not give him so much trouble as this one.
Yes … this happens 🙂
Oh Lord have mercy on us 🙂
LOL, that’s Z and I, over her social studies essay today.
You would think they were learnging for us, Susan. As for me I don’t venture there at all when the two of them are at it, or my boy would tell me that it’s English and Social Studies I know and not Maths. 🙂
lol, I can just imagine the scene!
Hm gilly, that boy has a temper and he really let it loose. He said his father’s method was out of date! Imagine! 🙂
Mother & daughter do too 😉
LOL! These kids; they know more than us 🙂
Now I’m smiling. Nice Haiku’s.
Thanks, Kim. You should have seen the way my second boy was angry. As if he is learning the Maths for me or his father 🙂
I know g-son acts that way too. They just can’t see the big picture. But remember you were young too. When raising my kids I forgot that. Now as g-mom I remember being a kid very well. 🙂
Oh Kim, as a kid, I wouldn’t dare yell at my father. I didn’t even have that kind of relationship with him.
Nooooo! Not yell at my elders… Not at all. But not think doing all that (ridiculous) home work is important
LOL! You got me there. Even at uni, I never did bother with assignments. I took things easy, never the serious student. 🙂 But this boy is a handful, I tell you.
LOL!!! You love and care too much and he knows it and throws his tantrums.
Well, well, the oaf is alswys accusing me of not loving him at all or the least.
Just I suspected!!! The more you give the more he wants. He’s spoiled rotten mom!! 🙂
Oh Kim, sometimes all this rollercoaster emotions tire me out and I just wish I were far away somewhere. I guess his daddy and I would have to sit down and deivse soem strategy
Yea, like you just said you want to go away. Take away! Video, TV, car, allowance, phone…..not all at once but each time he doesn’t do what you expect from him take his favorite things away. DON’T GIVE IN AND RETURN IT BACK BEFORE WHAT YOU WANT DONE IS DONE. He has to know you’re serious. I always gave into my kids. With g-son I know I can’t do that giving in doesn’t teach them that you can’t get your way in life. You and daddy know life is hard and you learned the hard way. Teach that boy that now while he’s young enough to learn.
I responded on the first post that went through.
I realised that. must have been a mistake.
Oh Kim, we don’t give the kids any of these. We just can’t afford them. My mum who lives with us is much more firm with him than we the parents, I must say. No matter how serious the tantrums she would not budge her stance. Thank you for the wonderul advice. 🙂 I follow all that you have been doing with g-son with keen interest, stealing some points here and there. 🙂 I’m sure things will work out fine in the end for us all 🙂
Yes I’m sure. See you Mum knows 😉 Enjoy the rest of your day.
good one! 🙂
Thanks, Trisha. 🙂
