Argh just lost the plot with DD over dumping rubbish and..

[wangle99]

made her write out 50 times 'I must not leave rubbish for mummy to clear up'

Don't tell me I've damaged her for life

Have already stopped pocket money etc etc because of this and she STILL does it. Was running out of things to try to make her stop doing it.

I'll let you know if it works!!!

DD is 10.5 btw

Oh it is really annoying isn't it?

My DC just hand me wrappings, apple cores etc when we are out for me to dispose of. After 8 years of parenting it's finally beginning to grind me down, and I'm toughening up.

DS (8)'s teacher said he could do with practising his writing so I might copy your idea

DH just found she'd dumped her dirty pjs on the floor NEXT to the washing bin.

He gave her the choice of a) writing out 50 times 'I must not leave my dirty washing for dad to pick up' or washing the pjs by hand (as he'd just put the wash on) she chose washing them by hand lol
