I know I've posted this before and I know you guys told me to let things calm down and get into a groove. But I'm really at my wits end. They DON'T listen to me - AT. ALL!! This is only one example. My children act like they never have seen another human being every time they see another human being. We had a contractor over tonight to talk about our deck project and I told the kids at least half a dozen times to go in the other room or upstairs. They don't do it, time outs don't work, I really don't want to spank them - I've tried flipping them in the ear, it hurts, it gets their attention but they just do it again the next time. Anyway, tonight it finally sent one of them to the ER. They were playing on a big leather chair we have in a nook in our living room and R hit his head on the floor, or the door to the bookcase next to it and is now on his way for stitches.
I don't know what to do. I don't want them to be scared of us. I've seen kids (cousins) grow up like that and I don't want that but I REALLY don't know how to get them to listen to me. I've tried the Love and Logic, I've tried reasoning with them, I've tried giving them choices.
I'm lost and I really need some help. I'd seriously take a spin on Super Nanny at this point and I hate that show.
