SP kids are driving me Nuts!!!
What do you do when you get on to a SP for something and then she turns around and tells you your being rude and she is going to tell her nanna. Her nanna is the boss becuase that is who the kids live with. I feel like I am stepping on toes when I get on to my Sp daughter and Sp son. The kids are pretty well behaved around the grandparents they live with, but as soon as they get to my husbands and my house they go stir wild. They scream and fight, I have the Sp daughter screaming and crying at me saying I hate her and all this other stuff because I get on to her and her brother. Of course this gets me furstrated and I wind up yelling back at her. This does not seem to help. The Sp daughter says she does not like comming up to our house becuase of me and I guess the rules of the house. On Saterday my Sp son was laying underneth the coffe table (I don't know why, he likes it under there.)and begins kicking his siter for no reason. I tell him to stop, instead he keeps at it. I finally tell my 8 year old Sp son that he is going to time out becuse he would not stop. He wont go. I have to bodily get him out form under the table and put him in time out where he proceeds to throw the book Im reading across the room. I made him stay in time out for along time. I don't know what Im aloud to do when it comes to decipling my SP's. Iam always afaid of making my mother in law (the one that keeps the kids) angry. My husband tells me I don't know how to get along with his kids. That I need to grow up and learn to be a parent. I wish there was a rule book out there.

Pick up the phone and dial
Nana's number and hand the phone to her. Then skip away like you could give two shits who she tells on you to! Because really, do ya?
DITTO
SMJ ----- or what i do is say, i don't care who you tell, when whoever is paying for my house we can live by their rules, but last i checked i'm paying the bills and it's my house -- so you guessed it MY RULES!!!
while in the back of my head i'm thinking i HATE when these little fucks are at my house........ i hope you hate my rules so much you never want to come back..... but even though i think that, i'm never really mean enough to them to make them stay away ----- b/c even though i can't stand their existence, deep down i know it's not their fault...
I agree with smj (above)....
Pick up the phone and dial nanna's number yourself and when nanna answers, say "here, someone wants to talk to you." This will burst their bubble. DO NOT let them threaten you with that. My biodaughter picked up the phone one day and screamed at me that she was gonna call the cops. I said, what are you gonna tell them? She said I'll lie to them. I said: You better make a good one, because I'll make it true before the cops ever get here. Needless to say, she did not make the call. She was 15 and had just been told "no."
Your house - Your rules. Bottom line.
******My daddy always said: "It's better to be a SMARTASS, than a DUMBASS!******
HA!!!
~You better make a good one, because I'll make it true before the cops ever get here.~
FANTASTIC!!!! This is one of the best things I've ever ever heard!!!
My own son once called the cops on me.
He was 9 and had just gotten suspended from school for (honestly I don't even remember now what he did)! Anyways, I was livid and let him have it. I told him to go to his room, write a 200 word report of what happened, and I'll think about other punishment. He knew other meant getting a spanking! So he did go on to his room, but he got the phone on the way and I didn't notice.
Few minutes later I had a cop knocking at my door. He was a old friend though so it was amusing. He stood there and watched while I whipped his ass. Then the cop told him next time it'd be him doing it if he made another silly 911 call.
My son has never forgot it and has never done anything so stupid since. He's 14 now and actually laughs about it and says you don't wanna mess around with his momma!
