In last week’s counseling session, Autumn had told the counselor that I’m so mean. I immediately felt guilty, because I tend to agree. I am constantly on their cases about “do this” or “don’t do that.” If they don’t comply, then I do end up resorting to the old fashioned “spanking” and sometimes popping on the mouth, if there is too much sass.
Thank goodness, the counselor came to the rescue immediately, and shut down the thoughts in Autumn’s head that I even remotely abuse them. He explained what ABUSE was, and I’m clearly NOT doing that.
The kids have been a challenge at school, boys and girls club, and at home. With the counselor’s help, we will get to the bottom of the issues, and hopefully improve their overall behaviors.
So far this week, all is going well. Autumn did her homework, without being pushed, for once. Adam also did his homework at Boys and Girls Club today, and that just makes my heart happy. Austin did not do his homework at boys and girls club, but he did do it at home this evening, without too much pushing on my end. yay! I call that a WIN!
This mom sure needs some more wins in the behavior department.
