in dire need if advice
"sue" wrote in message k.net... Thanks everyone for your advise. My kids do havew both beds on the floor(guess I should have said that before). They just do all of this by standing on their beds. I tried to tape the thermostat, but they just took the tape off. My husband suggested last night that we go and buy a thermostat lock box like offices have. Their beds are away firm these objects, but they just empty their drawers and pile the clothes up until they can reach. I'm going to try some of your good ideas and hope that it helps a bit. Thanks for taking the time to answer! Sue mom to Austin and Noah 12-29-00 Collin 2-13-03 "sue" wrote in message link.net... Hi guys! I mostly just lurk here and suck in as much advise I can get, but I really need some now and was wondering if anyone can offer any. I have twin boys who will be 3 in December. They have always been "pretty good" kids until they hit about 2 1/2. They switched from cribs to beds and it has been downhill from there. They have bunk beds and my one son will constantly rip down his curtain. I can't even tell you how many mini blinds I went through. My other son ripped the thermostat off the wall and cranked his heat up to 90. They flatly refuse to nap anymore, and I don't even bother trying, because it just means more work for me. They also rip the sheets off the bed, matresspad and all. I love being a SAHM, but I'm really at my wits end. I'm hoping that this is just a phase, but how long will it last?? I do have another infant son who requires a lot of attention, but when he is sleeping, I devote all my time to the twins. Can anyone out there offer me advise before I go crazy???? Thanks! Sue mom to Austin and Noah 12-29-00 Collin 2-13-03 Hi! My girls did the same kinds of things at that age. The sheet thing particularly was something that happened alot until my Mom (bless her!) bought them fancy sheets and comforters with the stipulation that if they didn't stay on the bed, they didn't get to keep them. So if the girls tore up their beds...their pretty princess "big-girl" sheets got put away for awhile. After the initial battle the first time the sheets got taken away, this got MUCH easier. Just something that worked for us....good luck to you. Kim Chelsea and Courtney (12/27/90) |
