Lack of discipline?

Ok...I know I am not the only one. But do you ever feel like no matter how you discipline your child, either they don't care or it just doesn't work or make an impact. If not, then stop reading...you are the epitome of a perfect parent. ;) Some of you know what I mean. We have times with our two oldest, where it feels like no matter what we do, they are going to be punished over and over again for the same thing every time. Why does this happen? I don't know, but I have begun a new form of discipline that I actually enjoy. Sound scary? It is. I am officially turning into my mother.

When I was a kid, several times our punishment was having to clean windows, hold hands, or something else clever.

Well, my kids are now cleaners. After a very naughty evening on Sunday, they chose their own cleaning punishment. Jadyn chose bathrooms (why?) and windows, Ethan chose cleaning up the living room and sweeping. Enjoy my pictures and remember they chose their punishment. They even liked it. I have a feeling though, after the third or fourth time of cleaning the toilets, I may begin hearing gagging sounds or some grumbling. But for now, I am enjoying hearing, "What else can I clean?", and "I'm not taking a shower in there...I just cleaned it!". Ah, the memories!
