[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 372444, member: 1233"] He made the dinner and it was yummy. Of course he whined greatly, but I kept cutting him off with things I needed to say or ask him to do. he finally figured out that every time he came to whine at me I gave him another task to do. That kept him from being a total brat about things. He did say that it was dirty pool to use the tactics I use when the kids whine on him. I told there was no difference between him whining because he cannot play computer games because he messed up the groceries and bought pounds and pounds of meat we didn't need and the kids whining because they want to watch tv when they need to do chores. He then tried the "I never agreed to do anything with the meat once it got home" and I showed him where he initialed the grocery list by where I broke down the prep chores for each person. Then he flounced away but didn't pout to the kids at all, which was good. Want me to send the wooden spoon of discipline down the line? I didn't need to use it, and if I need it while it is gone he will have graduated to the rolling pin of discipline. Figuratively, of course. [/QUOTE]
