So this weekend we’re going to Whitmore Lake in Michigan for a family reunion. I took the following week off so I could spend some time with my children.
Among the things I had planned was going to see the new Spiderman and Batman movies with them.
So much for that idea. They’re both grounded for the next two weeks because they went and did things they weren’t supposed to and then lied about it (poorly, I might add).
So now instead of having a fun week away from work with my children I’m going to have a dull week away from work trying to ensure that my children don’t have any fun either.
Plus, in addition to having to punish them I also had to speak to the ex (ew) because they decided they would misbehave over there and then lie to both of us about what they did. Ugh.
Ugh. So sorry. NO FUN for kids def means NO FUN for mom too.
Well, they won’t be with mom they’ll be with me….
Ya…that is what I meant. Sheesh. Too much wine. I heard that in my head (dad) and still typed mom. Sorry!
It’s all good.
Why should you suffer? Go see the movies, come home and make them sit there listening to ALL the fun they missed….that is punishment. Kidding aside…nothing worse than lying. My kids know whatever they do, it will never be worse than if they lie about it. Good luck.
They should do that. I always ensure they know that lying only makes there punishment greater.
Go see the movies w/o them.
