Yep, I think the worst so far we’ve had to do for my daughter was to wash her mouth out with soap when she let a Sh!t slip out of her mouth. She never said it in our presence again.
My boy, he’s just like me, naturally anti-authority and constantly checking where the boundaries are. Sometimes he’s so far in his own head with stuff the only way to get his attention so that we can actually explain the boundaries is to spank him. I HATE IT but if I am calm then I know I’m doing the right thing.
Oldest boy is waaayyy adhd. We were young when we had him—not a good combo, but I don’t know if anyone is really equipped to handle such a child. Daughter is in the middle, and a Godsend. Youngest is just S-t-u-b-b-o-r-n. I think he was born 45 and he’s gradually working his way back to his birth age, currently 18.
