Dreaded Oatmeal
Today my kids decided to make a mess while my back was turned. It made me mad. I told them that I was going to feed them oatmeal for lunch if they didn't get it cleaned in 10 minutes. They failed. They got oatmeal. There was wailing and gnashing of teeth among Bradley and Sarah. They chose to continue cleaning while hungry and get something better to eat once the cleaning was finished. I don't think they ate their preferred lunch until about 3:00PM. I think I've found a good strategy.

A very good strategy that I may implement.
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with oatmeal? I eat it plain out of the #10 can and love it. Just sprinle on a few raisins.
ReplyDeleteIf my kids were older I would follow suit.
