To top my morning off, after dropping off Kire I went to the grocery store. When I got home one of my bags of groceries was missing. This pisses me off royally because they are the ones who loaded my bags into my cart. I would have happily done it myself, but now I have to drive back there today, with my kids, and pick it up. FML.

f my life
Kire threw a nasty fit this morning for the 3rd time this week. Friday as I am driving him to the sitters he started screaming because he needed a blanket. I pull up to the sitters, luckily just 2 doors down, and he will not come inside. So I have to drive home and get a blanket while he is standing in the freezing wind. Tuesday he threw a fit because the sugar on his oatmeal melted and he couldn't see it. This morning I asked him to try on a pair of jeans I bought him. I asked him if he liked them and if he would wear them, before I took the tag off. Normally I only buy "softy" pants, because that's all he wears. But I took a chance and bought a pair of jeans at CP because they were on sale for $5. As we are walking to the car to go to preschool he starts sobbing because his legs are cold. I tried talking nicely to him, asking him if he remembers promising me to wear the jeans BEFORE I took the tags off. The fit continued until I finally yelled at him to go inside and change then. He came out wearing red fleece pants and a maroon top. It took all of my patience not to say anything and let him wear that awful outfit to school.

It looks like Kire is throwing fits because they work. He got his blanket and his pants. You may have to deal with a little extra screaming if you want them to stop:(
Hey I just saw your post and I will count ya in- it will be fun! :) You can get that movie at
blockbuster- probably other places too- be prepared you may not want to buy from the grocery store again :)
Suck Emily! I think you're right, sometimes it's just so much easier to give in though.
UHG! THe one having to drive to the grocery store again is highly irritating. I'm sorry.
I don't know Kire's personality so maybe this won't work- Channing is difficult, as you know, and I absolutely refuse to give into him. He is definitely learning that mom won't budge!
As for Max, have you read LOVE and LOGIC? I am reading it for the second time and it helps a ton. It is all based on giving children choices so they learn how to make good ones at a young age. So maybe next time when you get him dressed give him two choices then when he complains you can tell him that he made the choice. It works with Max but I know some personlities are harder. Let me know if you have read it or want to borrow it to read it. Love ya- btw, thanks for letting us indvade your house the other night.
