Where did my precious, sweet, happy, polite, well mannered little boy go?
I'll tell you where he went. To time out. More times than I have had Twisted Teas (a shit ton).
I picked him up from daycare yesterday and as I pulled up I saw the kids playing outside....but where was my kid?? I walked over and before I was able to ask where he was, I spotted him. Sitting on the stairs. In time out! Um, my kid doesn't get time outs at school (he reserves his insane behavior for at home).
I was told that he had been defiant (a little shit) all day and wasn't listening and didn't take a nap because he wanted to play with his friends and sing instead of sleep. He has his priorities in order.
After making him apologize and promise to have a better day on Thursday, it was time to go home. No tv and an early bed (since there was no nap, I was sure that Psycho Phil would be showing his face any minute) was the punishment for his behavior.
Did he care?
I'm sure looking at that face answers my question. Could.not.care.less!
After multiple time outs for not listening and just flat out being a jerk he was put to bed early. Not one peep out of him! Success! He was just tired. Parenting WIN!!
WRONG! This morning was just as shitty and he was just as bratty. We didn't get off on the right foot.
He promised that he was going to be a good boy today, and he showed me his listening ears were on.
So why every time my phone vibrates do I keep thinking it is daycare begging me to come get the lilttle criminal?
If anyone knows where my kids listening ears and sweet attitude went. Can you please return them to me?
