Disciplinary Advice About Children for Mothers

Image via Wikipedia

This advice is for women with children.  I live with my girlfriend and her two girls, one is eleven and the other is eight.  I’ve always been a big fan of using the belt because, and believe me, it works.  However, my girlfriend doesn’t like using the belt and I will never lay a whip a child that is not my own.  But she des have me discipline them since their dad always put their mother down and tey lost respect for her, so, non forcibly, here’s what you do:

1)  Take awy what they like.  (example:  her youngest likes to play outside all day, when she got in trouble, I sat her in a chair for two hours and made her look outside through glass doors knowing she couldn’t go outside.)

2)  If you catch them in a lie, ground them for a week at an earlier bedtime.  (They were left here with one of my girlfriend’s friends to babysit, they went to bed at their normal bedtime, but when we left to go to the store, they were up watching T.V., the next morning, the oldest told on themselves and I grounded them for a week at 7:00p.m., instead of 8:30 which was their normal bedtime.)

3)  Don’t give in, stick to the punishment.  (The oldest came to me the other day, she was still gounded, and asked me if she could watch T.V. because she was bored.  I told her no because she was still grouded.)

4)  Show them you mean business.  (2 weeks ago they wouldn’t listen to their mom, after a few days, I went in with a garbage bag and took all of their suffed animals out of their room and put them in ours.)

5)  If you have a boyfriend and you have trouble with them, if he grounds them, back him up or they will lose respect for you and him.  (I was punishing them before, a few months ago, and she kept undermining me.  I told the youngest she couldn’t play outside because she was grounded, first thing when we got hom, she asked her mom to play outside and her mom let her.  So I told her she could do it herself, needless to say, three months later, she was asking for my help again because they would no longer show her respect or listen to her.  Now they’re better and more behaved, if they have a question dealing with doing anything while grounded, she tells them to come ask me.?

Ladies, don’t knock these methods until you try them, trust me, they work.  The kids are scared to disobey us because their mom scares them by telling them stories about a marine’s temper when he gets angry, now they listen and obey.  Try it and let me know what you think.
