One thing about being a mom to three children that I
have come to realize is that I have very little control in my house. No matter
how hard I try, or what method I attempt to use, nothing works-except bribery!
Sure, I understand that is a horrible way to reach my kids but a mom has got to
do what a mom has got to do! When it comes down to needing to take a shower or
just simply using the bathroom with three kids screaming and fighting as well
as breaking my precious ceramic collectibles all while I am in the potty-I am
willing to try anything at that point! So yes-I bribe my kids with suckers or
whatever candy is available in the house (we always have leftovers from
Halloween or Easter). I put on a movie and say," Here is some yummy candy
and if you would like some-then let's sit down, watch our movie quietly while
mommy goes to take a shower." Works like a charm everytime! Being able to
use the bathroom and take a shower in peace are like heaven to me…So moms-don’t
beat yourself up if you feel temptation to pull out the candy jar, I do it at
least three times a week! Haha….
