[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 211030, member: 4040"] I remember when Miss KT was about that age. It was time to go, pouring rain outside, and she was piddling around and didn't have her shoes on. I finally picked up my stuff, said, "The car is leaving", and walked out the door. She hopped outside with one shoe on, holding the other one. I also sent her to school one day in December without a jacket, because she had managed to leave every single sweater/jacket/sweatshirt she owned at school, and hadn't bothered to find them. She found them all really quickly that morning! Logical consequences...if you leave your jacket at school, you get cold till you find it. If you don't have your shoes on, your feet get cold, or wet, or you step on a rock, or have to sit in the front office at school with everybody staring at you till you choose to put your shoes on. If you throw out your lunch bag, you go hungry. My constant phrases in those days were - Not my problem - how do you plan to take care of this? - Life isn't fair - tough tofu. Sending hugs and strength...it is SO not fun. [/QUOTE]
