Every morning we go through a crazy ritual of the older kids fighting the house getting destroyed and the younger ones usually end up cryingand this morning was no different.
Kayla got all pissed off because she was told that since he room was a complete disaster again (she never cleans it up) that she could not stay after school for drill practice, and she got all pissed off and started taking it out on her brother. They kept getting in argument after argument until they had the younger two crying and that still didn't stop them. Justin has a really bad habbit of cussing when he thinks I can't hear him. He called Kayla a bitch and she locked him out of the van and I was ready to scream.
Sooooo...... I am starting a new system and I really hope it works. They will get one strike for everything they do wrong, or chore that goes unfinished, or every time they fight with each other, and when they get three strikes aginst them they loose something that they like or want to do. I an hoping that if I can stay consistant with this it will help.
