Re: pain dr./kids cleaning

[Guest guest]

Sorry nne. I didn't mean to imply anything about cracking the whip. Just, you were an effective parent. I feel very ineffective. But the no sports would probably work. I just have to consistently follow through, or else it is hollow threats.

Thank you for your support and encouragement.

love,

Kate

Kate I never had to crack the whip. I simply told them this is what you are going to have to do and never got an argument. If it were me, if the kids don't help, NO SPORTS! Period, amen. No arguments and stick to it!
