I’ve been SOO frustrated with the laziness of the boys- O is trained completely for over a year…except for 2-3 nights a month. J has been really good with potty thru the day for about 6 months, but refuses to poop on the potty. M&M’s got him thinking about it, now won’t eat them at all anymore- suckers worked for a while- no more… so the other nite it went like this…
Me: J, if you poop on the potty, u get M&M
J: no
Me: sucker?
J: no
Me: candy?
J:no
Me: cake
J: OOOOH, YEAH! and a candle, and I’ll blow out the candle!
Me: Uhhh, ok, deal!
20 minutes later a shriek from the bathroom…
J: DADDY GET MY CANDLE!
Me: Momma, we’re gonna need some cake!
so it worked, lucky we had some brownies and candles
fast forward to this morning…
J:Daddy, I want another candle
Me: Mom’s sleeping, can you wait?
J: no, now
Me: Uhh, ok
10 minutes later…
J: get my candle DADDY
Me: SHIT, we’re out of cake! But we don’t have to light matches in the bathroom anymore, cause the kids all have their own candles:)
moral to the story- keep trying everything to bribe until it works, but make sure you can back it up! Mama’s gonna be baking again today I think!
thought you might enjoy!
