What part of DO NOT do you not comprehend?

Ugh, So the skids have been getting out early this week because of parent teacher confrences. And, all week, the skids have had problems understanding the word "DO NOT" as in "Do NOT be horsing around" (after teh second time, I said screw it, they get hurt, they get hurt, call me mean, but they have been told numerous times not to mention that its a house rule) "do NOT be tying strings, ribbons, ect around the cats necks" (Again HOUSE RULE and COMMON SENSE!) we have a kitten, and lo and behold I catch SD10 trying a scarf around the kittens neck and trying to lead it around the house. Well, the kitten is protesting and basically being dragged. So, I get onto SD10 and her "excuse" for doing it? "I was PLAYING" yeah, well, I'm not gonna be playing when I bust your ass. So I rescue the kitten, and bring it into the living room with me. I swear SD10 is either just stupid, or just tries to see how far she can push it. DH is already not happy with SD 10 anyway because of her attitude and actions with him last night. (In short, he got onto her for her chores not being done and she started this whiny fake crying hissy fit, thinking she was going to get out of doing them, and DH busted her for it. All it got her was more trouble. If she had just DONE it, it wouldn't have been so bad.) I am sick of SD "forgetting" the meaning of the words DO NOT. I'm tempted to make her write their meanings out 100 times each, maybe then she will "get it"

Your SD is not 'forgetting' anything. She knows she can get away with it. Why do people think kids are so dumb anyway? Smile

DH always thinks SD11 doesn't know any better. Like she's 4 or something. Hello she gets straight A's, she's super smart. She knows exactly what she is doing! And should wouldn't stop abusing our cat either! LOL okay not abusing but teasing and mistreating....

Little girls play their dads so badly... it's pathetic.

Oh wait your DH busted her for it? I didn't read that part right. Yay for your DH! He didn't buy the "she forgot the rule". Good for him...

Yeah, DH's answer for "I forgot" as an answer is push up's. Its amazing how fast the Skids "remember" after they have to do a few push ups

I'll tell you something and it pains me to bring this up because I avoid at all costs talking about this. My oldest daughter (who is Autistic) use to do this with my cat who I had for 12 years. This happened 4 years ago. I caught her dragging my cat around with a leash, only she didn't have it on her right, I got her in crap twice for this. I was out one night grocery shopping and came home to my then boyfriend telling me that my cat was dead. There was no explanation for it, I cried and held her for so long, I had her cremated. It was then a year later my youngest daughter blurted out one day that my oldest killed my cat. My daughter screamed out "I didn't mean to!" and she began to cry. Turns out despite the many times me telling her not to pull her around in that thing (and I had taken it away, she found it) she was dragging her around and it choked her. As I said, I NEVER speak of this EVER, it is too painful and to this day I refuse to speak to my daughter about it. She is sorry, she is remorseful but it doesn't bring my cat back. You need to take anything that is "leash" like away, because this DOES happen and it's horrible, she obviously does not understand what CAN happen in a situation like this. I just don't want you to lose a pet like I did.
