            - Go to I need to hire a mean person to discipline my children, they are drving me
        
        
                
                
                    Take some time 'time out'.. 
                
                and try to talk some sense once you and your kids have calmed down.. I agree with sinome, for each mistake, they should lose some convenience as a direct consequence, furthermore, if there is a chance you might make them meet the owner of the place they messed to apologise and clean up.. Bringing up kids is trickier these days, but help can be found every where too.. I had help from school psychology counseller for a couple of months last year and my son was only 5 at that time.. Our own kids have minds of their own which we don't always completely understand.. fresh pair of eyes and ears are often very helpful in seeing what our tired eyes have missed.. Take care 9star.. be strong for their future..

                It is so "not easy" to be a parent.  Things like this can drive a loving mother to distraction.  Take care of yourself, sweetie.  A harried mother only makes for more problems.

                    Good advice below...
                
                but you need to follow it...this won't be the last time they, or any kids that age, will get in trouble.

                Oh Suzy... I know how you felt... but hey, kids are kids and my dear this was just probably the first of many "mistakees' they will make... That is how they learn, that and you letting them know that for every action there is a consequence.  They have to be punished... so think of something they like and take it away ... he he he  that is how we Moms get even ... oh and teach them what they did is not acceptable.  Not wanting to live because of that?  don't be silly... in a couple of days you won't even remember what they did.  Be well and take it easy xoxo
