I have posted the following 3 day notices upon my children's respective space. Anthony,
*Clean up this room and clear out the old backpack. Throw away all parts that don't relate to this year. Hang the backpack ( if you don't need it) outside the trash cans so someone else who might need it can access it. *Store Great Grandfathers things neatly in your closet. Perhaps on the top shelf but not in the bag. *Remember to make your bed every day. all blankets should be folded and all clothes hung. *Take windex and clean mirrors HINT: Newspaper might leave fewer smears give it a try *put pillow case on all pillows * All electronic parts and chargers belong in the triple case by the bookshelf. * Return my suitcase to outside storage. placing all international chargers back inside FIRST. * Make sure all items are in order in your closet and do not interfere with the skidding of the glass doors. check things off this list upon completion. Any questions or problems are to be addressed immediately in person, by text and or a note taped to my bedroom door. Failure to comply with all above aforementioned Items will result in the cancellation of your birthday party and perhaps prevent you from reaching 13 altogether. :grr: Love, Mom Natalia, * Hang your star before it is damaged * Remember to make your bed every day. all blankets should be folded and all clothes hung. Let me repeat, ALL CLOTHES HUNG. *Take windex and clean all parts of computer desk. ( This requires moving things.) Place all electronics in bins provided for that.Throw away all unneeded receipts and all things that need not be on the desk in the first place.... are to be put in there proper places by you, no questions asked, no deferring to your brother as he has his own list. * Empty pencil sharpener. *SCORE 10 for not sleeping on top of your comforter however, you might fine pulling back the top sheet pleasant as well. Just a thought, the designer pillow cover is for looks and not really for sleeping on ( wash it as you have makeup all over it) If you need a second pillow for comfort, see me as I have plenty. * Purchase a plastic case for receipts and all important documents. 9Especially school related and tax related. ) Walmart has great cases. ( See those in my closet for reference. I already have plenty of dividers and large envelopes. * Contact local children's home I mentioned and see if they have need of a complete female comforter set. If Not, ( see me first!) place it outside the trash bins with a note describing contents (size etc... ) Someone will need it I am certain. *Clean YOUR bathroom and by this I mean also take a sponge and go around the border of the floor and get up all that dust and such around the border. check things off this list upon completion. Any questions or problems are to be addressed immediately in person, by text and or a note taped to my bedroom door. Failure to comply with all above aforementioned Items will result in the cancellation of your college education and perhaps prevent you from reaching 18 altogether. :grr: Love, Mom | |

I SO support you on this! I'm wondering if this sort of thing will work on a second grader? [Edited 9/6/08 15:27pm] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

[Edited 9/6/08 15:27pm] It would have to be a little more fun and silly but, yes. | |

I admire your patience and humor But I still believe every parent should remove their vocal cords at the age of 4 and if that doesn't work, kill them before the age of 16 J/K I had some simular issues lately with Amancho but I think he got the message now Although he apoligized that list is a very good idea | |

My kids (ages 11, 12 and 15) don't listen to reason. They don't seem to hear me when I talk in a calm voice. My oldest son has been known to crumple my work lists up and throw them away without reading.
When their rooms get to be atrocious, I pull a surprise attack. I bust open their doors and start screaming like a loon, and pulling shit out from underneath beds, out of drawers, out of closets, etc. They usually start cleaning right away because they want me out of there. | |

That's why you don't REASON with this age group. You go BALLISTIC. Punishments up the wazoo. Punishments must fit the crime and STICK and let 'em know it's THEIR CHOICE. Although I do feel for you having three to deal with at that age. [Edited 9/7/08 14:58pm] | |

I would so do this if I had kids, instead I have left a note by my kittys litter tray..
Mumu * Do not poop over the sides. * Cover all poop that you do manage to deposit in the tray * I would prefer if you would poop in the garden (next doors, not our own!! lol) as I have been trying to teach you. Grr Love Daddy. Little bitch hasn't paid the least bit of attention to my note!! Some people are like Slinkies...
They're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs. | |
