You're doing great....Stick to your guns momma. You're doing great. It's so easy just to give in "because daddy's gone." They feel it too, and you feel bad that they feel it - so you overcompensate and give in....and that's the worst thing you can do. <br /><br />But you're doing great.<br /><br />One thing we do when hubby is gone is create the "Naughty List." Every time Nani (and now both of the girls) would disobey, it went on the naughty list and would get emailed to daddy. Now realistically, hubby didn't have time to read and respond to every naughty list - but just the thought of knowing that daddy knew what was happening too was enough to cut down on the bad behavior.<br /><br />Hugs!!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584963266765648468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-821894607711105413.post-79047293555162653682011-02-02T22:54:33.891-05:002011-02-02T22:54:33.891-05:00I know it is hard.

I wonder what would happen if you didn't make dinner one night because dad was gone and you didn't feel like it. o.O I could only imagine the looks on their faces. <br /><br />As for the reading... I wonder if you let him pick out a book or two on his own to read, after his homework is done of course. That's how my mom suckered me into loving reading ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16236007227243300785noreply@blogger.com
