| Sometimes "sorry" doesn't cut it I kept my 2 yr old "nephew" last night. After repeatedly doing something I asked him not to do, he had to go to time out. Time out = him sitting in a chair repeating "I sowwy. I sowwy, Ad-ee-ka. I sowwy." over and over again. Finally my 5 yr old said, "P, sometimes sorry doesn't cut it around here!" I thought it was funny so figured I'd share.

| LOL! Sounds like your 5 year old was tired of the whailing too! Yep, sorry only cuts it with me when it's truly meant...not when it's the quickest way out of time out! |

| LOL She just hears it a lot herself. She is QUEEN of trying to pull the "I'm sorry, Mommy" stuff.

| Thank you for the smile and a HUGE double thank you for being a responsible parent and sticking to the "time out". Way too many children learn that NO is just another word that means nothing. |

| I have to admit, with my oldest (who will be 15 in Aug) I caved quite a few times. That little "I sowwy" is very hard to resist. By the time the second kidlet arrived (he'll be 13 this year! ) I was almost immune and only caved once or twice. Now with the 3rd one (who will turn 6 next month) it doesn't even phase me anymore. I am finally immune!

| My oldest two never had the "terribles". My youngest is making up for it with her "terrible 5's". I called my mother in tears one day telling her I wasn't sure exactly when I mated with Satan, but I was absolutely convinced this child was his spawn. Sounds horrible to say, but I really went through some VERY trying times with that child. Thankfully she is starting to calm back down now. My little nephew, on the other hand, is most definitely in the "terrible two's" and to make it all worse, he has a new baby sister that he is super J E A L O U S of.
