Day 215: Bribery

It works!! LOL I got the kids a drink that they don't normally get, the boys got Kickstarts, and Chelsea got a ice tea mix drink. Some cleaning did get done. :D Hmmm....maybe that family store idea I pinned on Pinterest ages ago really does work?! I was looking at all my boards, and had forgotten about a lot of them. LOL But this pin was a box/basket full of goodies, like a can of soda, candy bar, and other snacks & treats. Each treat has a point value, so you must have 25 points to get that can of soda, or 15 points for the candy bar, ect. I wonder if this could really work?! Kwintyn might not understand the concept? And that could lead to the whole thing being sabotaged.....I know my son. hahaha Could put other non food items in their as well. I have used bribery for a long time now, some say its being weak. I say how?! We both get something out of the deal. I get obedience, and they get a treat. Yeah....rewarding bad behavior, and it will be expected each time they have to do something. So far I haven't run in to that. Because if they are being a brat, say in public, their but is done, and taken to the car. Mama don't play that shit. LOL I pick my battles most of the times, and I have to say that I have 5, kids who do have manners, when they have to have to have them. Even if they can be a big pain in the ass, I love them so much, and they are great kids.
