Oh what a joyous day this has turned out to be. My first day of nothing. Except yelling at the kids, telling them they can stop arguing. Telling them to breath so that I can think for my self for a change. And oh yeah, Mikey trying to sneak Candy. We just got back from swimming about 10 minutes ago. I was trying to figure out what was taking Mikey so long getting out of the truck. Since it was pouring I told him to get the towel off his head since it was wet anyhow. Upon rearranging his towel. I spotted a candy wrapper, I forgot I picked up a bag to stash in my truck, found that spot apparently. As he was walking up the steps I could see him drop one. I told him to hand it over, thinking it was just one. Oh NO  There was another, and then another fell out of his swim trunks As he was holding himself looking like he was going to pee himself, I told him to hand it over. "I don't have any more, my leg hurts there"  As I shook the leg of his shorts out, LOOKY LOOKY Out fell 2 more candy wrappers. So now I'm going to have to eat them so that he doesn't ;D Guess I won't have to walk to far for a sugar fix tonight..... It was funny the look on his face when he got caught  |

No not too hard on him, since he got caught, I yelled at him for being sneaky, no harm no foul. And I ate some of it, but was testing him to see if he'd try to get them out of my purse.
He passed, they are there this morning ;D

Tell me, what are the various grounds on which you would yell at your children? Remember, this is the humor section. lol

Perhaps I should say, then, when would you NOT yell at them, especially if they are teenage ADHD boys with anger management issues. (Laugh so hard I cry!!)

I think you might be taking your life in your hands if you yelled at a child with anger management problems...especially if they are bigger than you!!!Not a good idea!  |

Actually, with my son, the problem comes if anyone tries to poke him or steal something that he is carrying. With his purple belt in Hapkido, they soon find themselves on the ground, sometimes in considerable pain. He also carries two knives, and can flick them out real fast. The second knife is in case someone gets the first one away from him. Someone got a few stitches not long ago from him. He also carries a machete in his car, under the driver's seat. He was also in a pistol club for a year and won a bronze medal in provincial competitions for accurate shooting. Next month he turns 18, and, if he thinks of it, may start going after firearms licenses. Would I yell at him? Not too likely any more. I would sooner reason with him, if that's possible. But I'm not sure that people have frontal lobes until they're 21. We've got three more years to go.

I can say on behalf of my undiagnosed ADHD husband that there is nothing that you can do to change a thing.
Robin will do what he wants when he wants as long as he has the drive.
If you don't like it, just remind him that he can move ;D
AND ummmmm, concerning the firearms, I know touchy subject, but as long as he respects the firearm as a weapon that, out of control can kill, he's fine. I grew up with guns and NRA and all the gun safety stuff. My kids know all of that. And I hope that they will respect any weapon as such.
My kids know that guns are for getting meat on the table, not hurting
On a funny note, if they out law guns, can we use swords? ;D

My guys all have swords, numchakas, arnis, and kamas (they are a pair of meat cleaver looking weapons) that they know how to use since they are all black/brown belts in Kempo Karate.
What I have to do when I get angry at them for things like leaving milk on the table or a wet swim suit on their bed... I call them in, ask them to turn around so I can kick their butt. They turn, smiling, and ask what is it for this time. I gently touch my toes to their bottom. It seems to sink in better than when I used to break my toes on their hind end. It is done with humor now, instead of anger.
Kaiti, do you think you know anyone who is a ShotGun Merit Badge counselor for Boy Scouts? Michael wants the badge, but we can't find a counselor on our side of the river. I would travel to you if you can help us find someone!
Then we can post our picture standing in front of the Rocky Statue with some stranger urinating on the museum wall too!

Lol Tridlette ;D I can see you kicking some bud´s ;D Too good imagination ;D Kaiti, it´s much better to hide candy´s so well that you hardly remember where you put it, help´s keeping kid´s out of them ;D I also recommend eating them only after bedtime.... taste´s much better that way  Marja |

Candy tastes just as good when you eat it infront of the offending child while they have to watch.....pure torcher, but he has made him stop and ask if he can have something. He knows 9 out of 10 times I'll say NO, but sometimes I give him something so he doesn't think he needs to be sneaky.
And Laurie, I'll ask around about that for you. Salem County Sportsman's Club always has stuff going on, so I'll find that number and give it a call.
I hope the bum isn't peeing on me though....that's nasty
