As a consolation prize, I was going to buy a Nerf football to toss around at the park. I was, until Ryan started tossing it around and finally bopping his sister on the hind end with it. I was all done by that point. I put it up on a Shelf...Sorry Target Team Members but it was time to be a parent. Think of it this way, it is job security! As I put that ball up high behind the dog food, and marched off with my boring vitamins, Ryan was having a fit. Crying. All eyes on him. Were eyes on me? I hope so. I was being a parent. I am not giving into that. Guess what? He lived. He still loves me. Target was happy I left.
So was I hanging my head in shame? Nope. I wasn't even acknowledging him at that point. I held my head high. I am the parent. You will obey. Is that a proud mommy moment?

That is a sentence I often regularly ask to- to which Lucas will reply- 1/2 a day old. Little punk.

Good for you in ignoring that behavior and not getting the purchase. Well done!
Good on ya mate!
my brother does this stuff all the time last weekend at toy r us he threw a ball and proclaimed I choose you Pickachu
Ugh...I hate when that stuff happens. Which is just about every stinkin' day.
There should be more moms like you. Proud to have a child throwing a crying fit in the middle of the store, because you know you are teaching him important values. I love that! Good for you. I always feel like a bad guy when I have to do things like that, but I know it will make them better in the long run. Sigh.
Check me out :)
