Re: Hey Josh!

No, that is a little to easy, work it out of them, don't run them over, you probably bought them, that is more money down the drain.

they do that already and enjoy it, so that doesn't work in this case.

As for destroying anything of theirs, that just teaches them that its ok to do so, if we do it why shouldnt they do it.

We have 8 vehicles here and our neighbors two, that they have to wash today. They have not been allowed outside (rain as well) and have been cleaning rooms. Our son was so upset over what they did ( after guilt) the girls just dont care. Daniel has been cooking, cleaning ( ie helping me on things hes able) The girls have been in their room and or in bed.

It seems to be sinking in that unacceptable is more then just a word at this point, slowly... but sinking in.

And to make Andy smile... Daniel has asked if he can help fix the damage and help finish the truck. The girls... well I love them to death, but they seem to have a major amount of teenage girl in them already.

Re: Hey Josh!

I'm kidding in reality... I don't believe in child slave labor...
untill AFTER they screw up.

Re: Hey Josh!

Lord have mercy... its been years since I saw those pics

well today it was to cold to wash, so they picked up sticks, twigs and anything else the mower could hit, then helped J put some stuff together. then we had them move retaining wall bricks from one area to another, get Miss Edith's burn pile out of her yard and add it to ours, and a bunch of other little yard tasks.
Very little whining too... now maybe if its nice all week, they can work on the truck with Josh in the evenings.
