Stop jumping on the couch. Stop jumping on the couch. Sit up at the table. Stop talking with your mouth full. Please don't interrupt each other. Don't take more than you're going to eat. Don't take the entire pan of cobbler; leave some for your siblings. Pick that up. Stop jumping on the couch. Get your foot off of her face. Why is there an open package of hot dogs in the vegetable drawer. Don't take up the whole couch, please; other people need to sit, too. Lower your voices. Stop jumping on the couch. Don't run on the stairs. She said stop it, now leave her alone. Why didn't anyone walk the dog today? Clean up the dog piss. Lower your VOICES. Stop rolling around on the floor. If you insist on making weird noises, take it into your room.
And for SHITTIN'S SAKE, STOP JUMPING ON THE GODDAMN COUCH!!! This is what having four monkeys has done to me. This is what I have become. | |

How can I turn it around and bring some positivity back when all I'm doing is saying NO this, DON'T than I try to spin it in a positive way, but sometimes I just want to slam their heads into the wall. 
Other times I just want to let them run wild and say fuck it.
But most of the time I just realize, this is my job as a parent and I really do love it. As much as it makes me dream fondly of suicide. | |

How can I turn it around and bring some positivity back when all I'm doing is saying NO this, DON'T than Actually, something Chris just said to our 10-year-old reminded me that we do usually try to frame it as their decision. For example: "Should you be doing that on the couch right now?" "Stop and think. Where should you have put this?" "Are you making good decisions right now?" "Do you need to take a moment to think about how you're behaving right now?" "Is this a respectful way of talking to me?" It's just exhausting. And sometimes, at the end of the day, all I can muster is "STOP IT!" | |

[Edited 7/14/09 18:04pm] Oh, I had every intention of being CJ's cool stepmom and his best friend. But like you said, the realities of constantly having to check a teenage boy with severe Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder have kinda squashed those dreams. I mean, I'm still kind of cool (I think), but I know he hates my guts sometimes. | |

In our house its: Stop shouting, there's no need to shout! Don't climb on that, its dangerous. Can you go and do as ive asked please? What are YOU doing out of bed, get back in NOW! Who do you think you're talking to in that manner? Leave your sister alone, she's happy as she is. C'mon, stop dallying, can you do as I've asked you please. Stop shouting. Didn't I pick these toys up 5 minutes ago? Eat up please. Leave your sister alone. Stop bloody shouting! Can you pick your toys up please? Give her that back, she was playing with it! Loose the attitude, missy! Stop mauling your sister, its annoying her! Don't talk to me like that! One of these days she's gonna haul off and smack you one if you don't stop bugging her and for Christ's sake will you STOP BLOODY SHOUTING!!! I'm not stopping. I haven't even taken my coat off
