I ALWAYS VOWED TO SPOIL (buy them a lot of "stuff")MY KIDS TO NO END B/C I DIDN'T HAVE c**p GROWING UP. I know they love me, but when they are so out of control (fighting,back-talking), it really feels like they hate me...Also b/c all dad has to do is open his mouth and they listen. (no love or no respect?) I think, well, it's b/c he will punish them more harshly than I, but I can do the same punishment and...nothing! I started a points system for them(yesterday), b/c it is very affective at school ..(fingers crossed)..My middle son is on the J.O.B...he is responding well, but the other two are not as much.I told them if they have "so many" points by friday then I would take them on a "all day" trip to DOLLYWOOD. That's a big prize for being good for a week, I think. I am afraid that they will figure out that I don't have a babysitter for whoever don't get there points so they will have to go. HHMMM???*BTW-I'M NOT THE TYPE WHO ONLY BUYS THEM EVERTHING-I PLAY W/THEM, READ W/THEM-
