Having a talk with Mommy

There is nothing my children hate more than having a talk with mommy.  My children hate having a talk with mommy when they do something wrong.

I learned this when I was a daycare worker.  This technique works very well.  I learned how to be a better mom but now I want to find my dream.

When my kids do something that annoys me I start to count.  I know when I am about to lose it because I begin to laugh.  The reason I laugh is because I cannot believe the ridiculousness of the statements made in order to get out of trouble.

I sit my kids down and I make sure that they are paying attention to me.  Then I begin the talk.  I ask them to explain to me the reason why they felt what they did was a good idea.   I normally listen to the whole story without interrupting them. 

I listen to everything and then I tell them why what they did was not a good idea.  They normally they do not do it again.

I told my husband the worst punishment I could ever give them is the sound of my voice.
