Today Has been a day from HELL! First Day Out of school for the weekend and my kids have became little wild kids! They have been up since sun up either fighting or getting in to stuff! I let a lot slide but I do have my limits and today they Have pushed them like NEVER before Plus the fact that I am pmsing IS NOT HELPING!
I know kids will be kids as everyone seems to remind me but with everything it has its limits and don’t mean they can just run free like wild Animals! So After I had warned them several times I sit down and get on the computer doing my normal blog hopping, twitter,facebook, and checking out Mom dot of course!
I hear this big bang and Glass breaking and kids running I just sit here trying to stay calm before i go see what has happened!
Sooo I walk upstairs to find the 2 oldest ones looking like they have just seen a ghost and they started pointing fingers at each other. still I don’t see the damage so then i walk down the hallway….. my Home interior picture was in the floor and glass was everywhere!!!!!! I didn’t know if I wanted to scream or cry this was one of the first pieces of fine art I bought when I moved out on my own umm 12 years ago and with that being said I loved it and it had lots of meaning behind it because one I was grown, moved out and worked to buy it myself even when everyone told me it was crazy to spend that much on a picture! BUT who cares it was My Picture MY money and I wanted it lol..
So My Anger came out full force after picking up tiny pieces of glass and hearing Jada tell me over and over that Dre and Jasmine was fighting and broke it like i didn’t Know that already lol.. My blood was boiling!
So I took the computers, tv, games, and whatever else I could find that I thought they liked and put it downstairs. I couldn’t even bring the words out of my mouth what I wanted to say so to be on the safe side I just walked away with the stuff in my hands and locked my self in my room! Of Course 5 mins later the older 2 must have sent Jada in here to tell me they were sorry LOL and even brought me a few dollars they had from left over lunch money.
Now I am sitting here actually calm and not upset about the picture as much… I can get it re-framed. I just wish my kids would stop fighting with each other so much! I am actually blessed that I do have well behaved kids compared to some and our only issue is the fighting but of course I cant have everything perfect.
So For the rest of the day everyone will be in their rooms separated to have time to think about what happened , after I have my calm but powerful talk with them at dinner tonight. Changes are going to have to be made around here and I have got to stand my ground with this one because i will not allow my kids to fight or hurt each other mentally, physically or verbal.
So Mom’s tell me how you handle fighting siblings?
My mom would make us walk up an down the sidewalk holding hands. It sucked because all are friends lived on the block.
Luckily havent had any fights yet but have had days like this. My son spent a good portion of his morning yesterday in his room for not listening and throwing his sister into the tv.

I am no help, my two year old is probably pushing his 9 month old sister down as we speak, but I can sympathize. And good for you for locking yourself in timeout. Sometimes it is necessary!
