[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 14906, member: 3419"] Well, after reading Marguerite's post I feel like a slacker. We all have colds, and husband insisted I take Chris to Sylvan, (easy to say when he goes to work and I'm on my own). So Chris wakes up late, wets the bed, is very cranky, refuses to get ready to go (he's wearing shorts and it's 30 degrees outside), finally makes it downstairs, throws his applesauce with-medications across the room... you get the idea. I canceled Sylvan. Chris' friend called, looking for a playmate, and I told Chris NO, You're too sick to go to school, you're too sick to play! Of course, he cried and said he felt better by that time. He ate his new pill sprinkled on sherbert (my daughter bought that, insisting it has no milk in it... I obviously wasn't along on that shopping trip...) and he cleaned up the applesauce. Now I have to get him to wash the urine-soaked comforter and write 10X, "I'm sorry I threw the applesauce." husband is going to be upset when he finds out we stayed home but quite frankly, I don't think it's fair to have a kid coughing in your face and spreading germs when you're trying to teach. I have to run errands and I know difficult child won't stay in his room while I'm gone... I'm wondering what to bribe him with. My daughter is not good about getting him to mind. I have a friend who bribes both kids with-$... the older one gets $2 for watching the younger kid and the younger kid gets $1 for behaving. Not real life but it keeps the house from getting trashed... [img]:warrior:[/img] [/QUOTE]
