And how is all the folks in the new england area? Not heard much about em in a day or two. Has the weather calmed down any?

Weather was great on Sunday. Felt like late April.

Wife had hip replacement surgery a few weeks ago and was recovering really well and ahead of schedule. Suddenly on Friday she wakes up and can't walk. After driving her to the surgeon's (again), turns out the physical therapist gave her the WRONG leg exercises and screwed up the muscles near the suture line. Oh, just great. We were supposed to host Thanksgiving for the extended family, but that ain't happening now. She's worse now than the day she was released from the hospital. Assh*le therapist. :grumpy:

Thanks man some really good ideas and ill try anything at this point. 2moro first ill sit her down with mommy before she goes to work, so mommy hears and understands our agreement so to speak then ill take everything out her room but her bed and clothes. tv toys and games all gone. Great idea. being only 6 she looses focus easily so the sending her to her room she normally forgets why she was sent up there after 20-30 minutes anyway. so ill ground her to the corner and put a small desk in a corner facing the wall and make her sit there doing homework, well no homework now cus its the holiday weekend but i can print some of my own homework up and have her do that a few hours a day. Ill let her know she needs to behave and stop lying and throwing fits if she wants anything back in her room or any free play time. Ill explain ill put 1 thing back in her room after each day of acting right and keeping her areas clean. and maybe make the time out desk last a week or until i notice some improvement past the 1st days initial shock. I appreciate the suggestions and the time you took to type them. i will be in strict parent mode 2moro !

Kids come with a million blessings and the feelings of love like you couldnt imagine plus a million headaches and heartaches, but it is so worth it. I think you will do fine when your time comes!

couldn't hurt to write the agreement down on paper, so she knows you aren't "making it up" when you punish her...

and when she comes up with a new one, you can add that to the list :)

o List of inappropriate behaviors - punishment and consequences

oo Lying - 1 hour in corner doing math exercises

oo Stealing - ...

oo Bad grades ...

oo Failure to do homework ...

basically, once it's written down, she knows it's "for real", and mommy can "sign it" as well. nobody is going to be surprised when something happens.

heck, keep a chart (separate, perhaps out of the way...) and track progress. kinda sucks, but you can see if she's doing this on mondays vs weekends, and how many times per month, and if it goes down. again, no "making stuff up". she can INITIAL her offenses, so it's clear you're on to her.

oh, and the stuff you take away? lock that stuff up. make it damn clear if she even THINKS of trying to sneak those things back, it's game over.

i know one poor kid that has weekly inspection of his bedroom - every nook and cranny, looking for contraband ;) naturally, a smart kid would keep that elsewhere, but as he has limited access to hiding spaces (apartment, no outbuildings, and he's never unattended), it seems to work. just makes for a smarter kid ;)

course, i had stunningly non-clued parents, so... "you can do chores or study" -- "woo hoo! studying!"
 
Just stopped to check in, its been a busy LOUD day. So she honestly thought it was a joke when i was explaining what was going to happen today. i explained it in front of her mom. who also thought i should write it down in a calender type style to show which days she does right and which days she doesnt. then her mom left for work. When her mom left she started singing and ran into her play room, so i went to her bed room and snatched everything out. took it all to the play room and locked the door with key. she didnt seem to care, so i dramatically threw her desk into the corner and told her its her new home. she sat there doing addition. half an hour and she was begging to get up, it was VERY HARD but i made her sit there for a full hour and told her if you want to get up you will clean every inch of your bedroom AND the play room. she agreed and even though she didnt do an excellent job cleaning, she actually put in an effort so i think this is going to work, as long as i stay on top of the punishments and keep her at her work desk for atleast an hour a day maybe she will be greatful to get up and do some chores. The biggest thing is she hasnt said NO, BUT, WAIT, or any type of back talk since i snatched everything out her bedroom and showed her new home in the corner facing a wall. i think her mom will be proud :)

Thanks for the advice! Ill let you know how it works out after her initial shock wears off. right now she thinks daddy was replaced by aliens and new daddy isnt as nice lmao.
 
I wonder if that NRA offer is still valid. I need to renew soon.
