Any of you has a child that does something and it makes you think...WHY?
Here's my story at this hour.
My nephew decides to wake up at 3am and piss in the dining room on the floor. Having a good ole piss too. Everyone camped out in the livingroom, watching movies all night, which led to us falling asleep there.
I'm dreaming and hear the urine sound. Yall know that sound. It's like water splashing something. Like heavy rain hitting the ground. Anyway, I remember thinking; where is that sound coming from because the dream had nothing to do with urine?
Then my daughter awake saying; momma. Man man (my nephew) peeing on the floor.
I awoke so fast, tripping and stumbling over kids that I stepped on my son and darn near fell. I couldn't get to this little boy quick enough. Soon as I saw that pond in the kitchen I said; ooh buddy. YOU...got...the right...one! (Then a strong stench of piss flew by. OH HELL NAH)! I could have started humming the song of freedom cause clearly my nephew didn't know his aunt.
He was told to clean his mess. My daughter and niece swept the area and removed the dining room chairs after he finished. Mind you I was still silently humming while my niece is wondering what I am planning to do and my daughter clearly knows.
Next, I cleaned the mop real good, all the while he is looking at me as if he is finished. As he had hope, I could also see him thinking twice like; nah, that may not have been a good idea. My nephew stayed in the dining room while I ventured off into the bathroom again. I made him some mop water, with heavy pine sol and made him mop the entire dining room floor.
Now most of you will think; good. That's what I would have done. But with children, this isn't going to be enough. He would turn around and do this act again because the responsibility of cleaning his mess would be way too easy.
Let's use another example; cheating/having an affair. We all know how that feels. As adults, we also know that if our man or woman let us get away with it without a harsh punishment, there's a possibility we'll do it again because we haven't learned. I used this as an example because I want you to apply those same thoughts to your child. BE HARD but also WISE!!!
Back to the story, my nephew "thought" he was finished. NOPE! Why wasn't his punishment complete? Because he needed to learn a lesson!
Often times we punish without teaching. Some children will understand right away and probably won't complete the act again. But others, will not. Not only must you punish them, but you have to truly discipline children in a way for them to comprehend, what they did was WRONG!
So while my nephew did clean his mess; and thank you. To stop him from doing this again, I also had him to mop EVERY floor in the house.
1. Dining room.
2. Kitchen.
3. Hallway.
4. Bathroom.
5. Wish I had more for him to do but I think he learned his lesson.
MORAL: Discipline them well enough the FIRST time so there will not be a next!
Peace & Harmony!
