Grandma's? Can you come get me?

Dear Grandma and Grandpa's,

I was wondering if you could come get me? My mom and dad are mean and sent me to time out.

It wasn't for very long but it sure felt like FOREVER. It was so hard. I know you would NEVER send me to time out.

I kept looking at "her", the mean one, who turned off my movie and made me sit still. She wouldn't let me off

She was so mean she kept taking my picture and smiling. I told her no no.




Please grandma's I beg you... SAVE ME!!!

Ty has been having a problem with not spitting out his drinks. Well we can't get him to stop so we implemented time out. OH it sucks! It the worst. He is so sad. And that look. Oh I want to get him off. I even have to walk away. Not because I am mean but because I am crying. He is a good boy but 3 minutes is a long time for a punishment! 3 whole minutes..

Granny.. its true. He wants to be saved :)

Poor Tyler, learning boundaries can be so hard! But it is for your own good, even if you don't like it. But if Mom and Dad put you on the time-out chair, even Grandma can't bail you out. Mom and Dad know what is best. As long as you get hugs after your time is over, everything will be fine.

Now Mom, I know it is hard not to cry when they are upset, but remember he still needs to learn. Kids are great manipulators and they will push all those buttons. I never had kids that would actually sit there! I wanted to tie them to the time-out chair with a rope :) Remember you aren't being mean, just helping to learn lives lessons.

Tyler, next time Mommy is mean, just call Grandma!

I would have saved you :) I couldn't stand to look at that face AND I'm sorry but him spitting out his drink is REALLY funny to me! :) I got in trouble from mommy because I was laughing when she told me what happened. I miss you Ty! I wish I was there to save you from the "mean one"

Time out is so hard. Up until recently, we were always putting Isaac in his crib for 1 minute time out because I didnt think he was ready to sit still anywhere. It was so inconvenient to me that there were far more threats of timeout than actual time out. I just started putting him in a chair and now he really gets it. It breaks my heart too, but the last time I did it, it actually worked and he learned! He gave me a sorry hug at the end and voluntarily handed me the toothbrush and toothpaste that he wouldnt leave in the bathroom and had been telling me "No!" about that got him in trouble in the first place. Hang in there. It will get better.

I've been doing time-outs with Wesley since he was 2 1/2 or 3. He has always done pretty well with them. I LOVE these pictures. What a cute post.
