Bribery always works.....



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….
