how I torture my children...



I don't know if it does in your house...

but in mine...

summer boredom breeds sibling squabbling.

I finally resorted to making them hug it out!

Which...to my surprise...ended in laughter!

Maybe I'm on to something....

haha - that's what my parents made us do when we were little! and i've tried it with mine, only to b surprised that it actually does work! now, i don't think it's the right punishment if they're about to rip into each other already - but for the constant sibling squabbling back & forth - just picking to get each other's attention, it works amazingly well! :0)

SO CUTE!

See this wouldn't work in my house though. They'd just strangle each other!

I remember when my mom and dad tried to make my brother's hug while they were bickering....it turned into a wrestling match and many bruises and cuts later.... This is what I'm picturing in Jen's house!!! lol
