I am the "meanest mom in America" according to my youngest son. This is actually a step up from the "meanest mom in the world" that my oldest son used to inform me I was. I said so this morning to my youngest after he gave me my new title. He was not as amused as I was about it. I have "ruined his life."
What did I do? you might ask.
Well we are implementing a point system at home that coincides with the point system at school to deal with behavior. He basically will have to earn points for priveleges. He is thoroughly testing this with me. So far, "it's embarrassing", it "is stupid", it "won't work anyway", and my personal favorite...he "can't wait to get to heaven because he bets God doesn't use a point system in heaven." To which I noted that he doesn't know that for sure, that maybe God does use a point system in heaven.
Ah the trials and tribulations of being a parent. Isn't it fun?!? There's never a dull moment that's for sure and it keeps you on your toes.
