How do you get a four year old to listen? Pay attention to what they are doing and not antagonize their younger siblings? I am all out of ideas. I can send her to time out, take away toys and even ( on the rare occasion) spank her (not hard). It is still the darnedest thing. I can't get her to listen. She will break a toy playing with it the wrong way and I want to take all the toys away.
I think I am going to when we get to the new house. Only let them have so many toys out and put the rest on rotation. I did a massive toy clean out a few months ago, I guess I didn't clean out enough. So when we get to the new house I will just keep out the toys they play with the most, the rest can go into storage.
The other thing I am having problems with is my son. He has so much energy and will do just about anything for attention. I feel like I am not giving him enough. I know that when we move to the new house we will have a fenced in yard and he can go run and play his little heart out. I just can't wait to move.
We will have more space, an actual yard for the kids to play in and more privacy. I wont have to worry about neighborhood kids riding their bikes around the cars and finding new scratches and dents every time I look. Sure the rent is higher, but the schools are nicer and the room, have I mentioned how much room we will have? I am excited. I want to move in now! We will be in two weeks. It seems so close yet o far away. I hope we will have some help from some guys from Hubby's office.
I am ready to leave. I just want to get through it, so I don't have to deal with the stress of it all.
