I get it. One of a mother's tests in mortality is to survive whining at its worst: through sickness and health, through school and church, through brother-beating and sister-teasing, through home-bound days and library trips, through dinners and morning routines.
I am ashamed to admit I actually used the Santa threat today--promising a lump of coal to a certain child should he not choose to change his very grouchy behavior. Guess what? Shameful or not, it worked.
p.s. You will all be thrilled to know all 4 of my children survived the day. Yay, me.

I'm guilty of using that same threat. It works the first few times so use it wisely!!!
Glad you survived.
