The life of a parent is sooo hard!!! We have been having an issue with our daughter’s behavior at home and at school and today hubby got a call from her teacher saying how bad she was behaving. Really? Like I feel like we’re in a constant tug of war with her misbehaving and disobedience. So I’ve tried taking away tv time, I’ve tried time out and sending her to her room…but due to the holiday season…my friend suggested I write a letter to Santa. So that’s what I did…I wrote a letter to Santa…I let her sit there with me while I wrote it and then I read it aloud…basically I said that she was misbehaving and that if she did not have better behavior that it would be okay for him to skip our house this year. I put that Jordan has had good behavior. I also wrote that if she improved, I would send him another letter in time for Christmas Eve. I really feel like this might help…for now anyways. I don’t want her to remember the Christmas that Santa didn’t come…but I have to get thru to her that kids who misbehave don’t get good things. So we shall see how this works out…hopefully it doesn’t blow up in my face! She’s really distraught about the idea that Santa might not come.
On a side note: no I am not intending on giving her a lump of a coal or not getting her anything…but if she has a few less gifts than her brother this year…she might get the point.
