Angels turn into devils when mom arrives

Call me an assertive bitch but I would do just that - come upstairs and say to the children in my ice but firm voice "x and y you need to stop now - at Reggios house you know we do not run around with boots on cause babies crawl on these floors plus you could hurt yourself - the rule at my house at dressing time is you sit on your bum on the bench until everyone is ready to go outside and when the grown tells you than you can get up. You need to listen to mommy at pick up or you will have to stop playing before mommy comes and Reggio will have you sitting on the bench ready to go for mommy at pick until you can show us you are ready to listen and respect mommy and follow my house rules!"

Yup Had to do that just this Thursday past....mom looked at her and said "you better listen to mamma_mia then" LOL How about control you're own kid? sheesh

Agreed! I too have done this on a couple of occasions when they are the last pickup and I can be upstairs...hoping that Mom will then demand the same....nope. She honestly has no control over them, "they just won't listen" says it herself time & time again...both mom's do....but if she followed through & was consistent she would easily gain control & respect. I think I will try to bring everyone up @ pickup time. Great idea. Then I can rush the little turkeys out
