legzzzz asked: I am a mother of 4 kids. Son-9, Son-6, stepdaugter-4 (My husband and I have custody of her,she sees mother supervised everyother week), and son-2. I used to be a “push-over mom” when it was just me and my older 2 boys, but when I met my husband we got pregnant and then he got custody of his daughter, I was determined to set rules and follow through. I am a stay at home mom. Husband works ALL the time out of town. I hear myself saying “do this” , “don’t do that”. Don’t get me wrong the kids are GREAT!! We get compliments on their good behavior. But I am sooooo sick of telling them to do this and not that…HOW CAN I GET THEM TO MIND? I feel bad for taking EVERYTHING away (like Dr. Phil says) and ******** doesn’t work,it seems as if my daugter could sit in her room for a week and do nothing. It’s like no punishment works. How long should I take privileges away or make them sit in their room? PLEASE HELP can I get a step-by-step guide of what to do 1st
How can I let go?
