homework
People laugh at me when I say to treat your children like wild animals! I am sorry laugh all you want but when the lil buggers can cause you great joy and great pain......it is wise to approach them with caution.
And that is exactly what I did this late afternoon and early evening when she drug her feet on entrering the house after school. I looked at her said hi and gave her a hug. And the sat her ass down at the table and procedued to put a tabel between me and her........much like a lion tamer holds that chair between the lions and himself.
We yet again went over why she isn't allowed to even go outside with out either mom or dad knowing. And all that good mumbo jumbo and how yes she pist me the fuck off and I wanted to beat her black and blue but didn't because I knew not to get near her this morning in that type of mood. And we also went over consequences of actions again. And just like you would a working animal or wild animal.......she got a treat of mom was done lecturing her.
We are going to implement a reward for good behavior chart that not only deals with home but school behavior at home. Why? Well since school has started our lil girl whom we thought we had domesticated has been showing sinces of going feral and back to her natural state of wildness. Did something trigger this? Not really, she is dealing with normal school things and is a pretty popular child at school. The imature human being I call a daughter just has two very strong sets of dna combined with in her and they mixed to cause obstince (she gets this one from me:D), stubborness (bothsets of parents on this one), drama queenness (which she gets from her dad on that one) and frustration towards authority(okay this one is me again!).
We think we have things settled down again. She is grounded from tv and the comp for a good week. The bikes are officially put up for fall and winter. Which she is finding out isn't the same as fall and winter up in Nebraska. She could have rode her bike all year round down here. Soccer we have decieded to let her keep doing. We thought it was best to keep a routine for the two legged beast we call a daughter. We will hold soccer over her head which of course produced an Academy Award Winning crying and "It isn't Fair" speech. And on top of her normal homework from school and her sometimes added circullum that we do....she will also be starting a journal that she works on with mom. To start out every day for this first week...she will write 50 times "I am NOT old enough to ride my bike into town." And then write me a one page paper as to why she is not old enough, why she has to listen to mom and dad, and what will happen if she doesn't listen.
Now a lot of you are like if that was my child she would have been *insert punishment here* and why aren't you doing more. Well see I have studied this feral beast for 7 years. From birth till now. She does take after her mother and father way to much in behavor. And what has been observed by the two legged beast's grandparents concerning her mother, is if you push punishment down on the imature human then said animal becomes even more obstinate and may lead to a life of lil bitchyness, punk ass bady as Rey Rey behavor. And that jsut isnt' going to fly in this house hold.
Then there are a few of you that go well you should have kept a better eye on your kid. I say bend over and let me shove my crow bar up your ass. No paernt anywhere in this world can keep 24/7 constant servallance and tracking devices on these wild animals. I just closed my eyes for less then 5 mins. When the animals are beahving in sneaky, quit behavor they are determined to do what they want when they want. Does this make me a bad parent. Nope makes me a more dilligent parent. Will this happen again? Probably not until she is in the adolacence age group which means my life becomes even more hazardous keeping up with her roaming and hormaonal changes.
So thus ends this lil saga of my two legged blonde beast...........for the time being!
