Who's the boss?

So recently Mike's mom babysat the kids for a day for us while Mike and I worked. When I got home she told me how the day went. One of things she said is when the kids were misbehaving or not listening she would tell them she's the boss and they need to listen to her and it worked. I figured wth maybe I'll try it out myself and guess what?! It works!!

 

Now if the kids are bossing each other around or not listening all I have to say is who's the boss? and the stop and say your the boss mommy. And I say good, now you don't do that or you need to listen to mommy, depending on the situation.

 

I am so impressed with how well this parenting tactic works! I thought it was going to be chaos forever with them never listening to me and always bossing the other around. It has gotten better at times but sometimes they are still the same but it only takes a quick reminding on the authority in our house and things go back to how they should for at least a little while.

 

If you are having trouble with your kids not listening or bossing each other around I really suggest using this technique. It has changed stuff so much around here. And the funny part about it is they only refer to me as the boss. Daddy is not the boss just mommy, of course they still listen to him but I giggle every time they tell him he's not the boss mommy is. That's right! I'm the boss Mr.! Hehe!
