Okay, I am a sucky mom but don't care. Have a 5 yo dd who is just off the hook these days. I WAHM (we have a sitter). I told her f she didn't start to behave, she was going to camp for the whole summer. Amazingly, she is now plaing quietly downstairs. Ate her breakfast. Put her dishes in the sink for the first time ever without being asked. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

That doesn't make you a sucky mom at all. That makes you a mom who has expectations that you expect your children to live up to. Good for you. I hope she keeps it up. :) [ Reply | More
