Smart kid ngl

A college student home for Spring Break? Besides, she’s not feeling very peckish.

Parent: “Punishment-based parenting works too. All the pie for me.”

That was a rule in our house

I never forced my kids to finish every crumb. If they were full, they were full. I never bribed them either. Besides we always had desert in the evening…not right after a meal.

She’s offering pie on Pi Day!

OK, good cop isn’t working.

… If you don’t eat yer meat, you can’t have any pudding

How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?

“NO PIE FOR YOU!”

If it works, it works. I read a funny story on Reddit about a woman who had chosen dogs over kids, but her sibling kept dumping her monster children on her to baby-sit. Dog training methods of small treats and a clicker actually worked, but the sister got really mad her kids were being treated like dogs. The kids were no longer dumped. A win win.

No, too full to finish meal, no room for more…
