OMG They Found the Cure for Stupid

My mom used "physical techniques" to discipline us. I use more "psychological" techniques with my kids. Rules and consequences are clearly stated.
One of my favorite techniques for middle/high school kids: When I drive up to pick them up at school, I allow them a few minutes to say bye to their friends and come to the car. If they don't make their way to the car in a timely manner, this is a sign that they want to introduce me to their friends. I get out of the car and walk over to the group to be introduced.
One of my boys saw me get out of the car and started scurrying to the car. Too late! I met several kids that day.

Thank you, PoppyK - I was in need of a laugh today ... I don't have any children, but I am going to tell my friends about your "meet the friends" technique. They will be appreciative for sure!

poppy = yes, I too had the physical technique for discipline. Obvisouly, child protective services wasn't around then. Love the pyschological technique.

Loving the dwarfs...can't decide which one is me as I seem to be a composite of all of them. Maybe I'm Mishmosh! Love, Jean

hahaha Jean. I like that....a mishmosh!
My kids never wanted to disappoint, so they were both very easy. I disicplined far different than my parents. In my parents age, I think it was common to hit your kids. They just didn't know of any other way. I talked back to my Mom a lot growing up. So I'm sure I deserved what I got!! haha

My mom was also an expert at the "Gibbs slap" with a warning for us to straighten up. Can't recall how many times I got that over the years, but I never did straighten up

Happy Birthday to all the birthdays that I missed and Hugs to all my friends that need hugs.
I have missed alot here again. I'm still ok - off pain meds after 4 years - A bit cranky yesterday - As doing my walking now, I'm finding my incision scars feel like they are ripping apart. Acupuncturist says it is the muscles spasming around the scars. She was able to relieve it for a little bit but comes back. Trying not to go back on the pain meds. My head seems so much clearer without them.

Thank you Poppy - awesome technique. My mom's favorite hitting tool was a wooden spoon or a hairbrush. I didn't use physical punishment with my kids, I used consequences that varied based on age. Poppy's technique would not have worked on my daughter (she wanted me to meet Everyone!) but it would have worked on my son. Sorry babbling now.

Alyson, that cracked me up. I'm feeling pretty crispy myself.
"Gibbs slap".....I've got to remember that one. Unless I write it down I will never remember.

here's one you may have heard before but was new to me...
I went to visit my workplace yesterday a week after my mastectomy to visit. they asked me about the pain and I said I was having some nerve pain and some Charlie horse like cramps in my chest. a friend said it may make me feel better to know she still has nerve pain years after her boob job.. I had to leave before I caused a scene.. how the heck is your voluntarily having your C cups made to DD's and my breast REMOVAL make us in any way common !??! and NO it does NOT make me feel better to know the pain may NEVER go away you nitwit!!

littletatas - can't cure that stupid, but to make you feel better, I can tell you that the nerve and charlie horse pain are normal after the MX and should eventually get better. Nothing you can take for the nerve pain but Valium will help immensly with the cramping in your chest.
slow, ducky, gma, alyson - keep me laughing with all those photos
