ok, the little girl has gotten in trouble 3 times in the past few weeks for throwing sand at her brother's face.
today she did it again.
he comes running in the house crying. he's 4 and from what i know of him, he has no clue how to lie. he comes in saying he's got sand in his eyes, and said "Sabrina threw sand at me."
i took him to the bathroom to clean him up, MOM went outside to grab her.
cutiepie smacked her. probably the 5th time in her life she's gotten a smack from Mom.
her excuse for throwing sand at her brother..."he was in my way and wouldn't move."
mind you, this is now the 4th time in less than 3 weeks.
since cutiepie already smacked her, i did not. before anyone says anything about that, let me point out that these kids RARELY get smacked. they gotta be begging for it in order to recieve. excessive hitting/physical punishment loses it's effect after a while, thus the reason they only get hit when we really need to drive the message home. that's the way i was raised, and i think my dad did a damn good job, so i do the same with my kids.
so anywho, after i got done cleaning up the little guy, Sabrina had already been sent to her room. i told her she's not allowed outside to play for the rest of the week. i didn't specify when the week ended, i'm thinking Friday afternoon she'll be eligible to play outside again. we told her the last time she threw sand in her brother's face that if she couldn't play nice with others that she wouldn't play at all.
punishment seem fair?
