I have a slave for the next three days...

SD13 got herself suspended from school AGAIN. This is the second time in the past couple of months and that doesn't even include the IN-school suspension stuff.

This time it was for bullying and mouthing off to the teacher.

Last time SD got suspended I threw a royal fit because she slept in, watched tv all day, generally enjoyed her day with no consequences (her phone had already been taken away...he just told her it would be longer before she got it back.)

So yesterday when the teacher called, I told DH I had some stuff she could do around the house, that it was bad parenting for her to ENJOY her suspension. He actually balked... said he already had plans to punish her... he was going to make her weed the rosebushes. Okayyyy... and what else? Cause that will take about fifteen minutes then she'll be lying around on her ass watching tv.

We had a good little argument that ended with him saying, "I'm not going to argue with you for three days..." to which I replied, "Fine. Don't argue. Just listen to me bitch for three days."

So he gave her over to me for three days. Right now she's mopping the bathroom for the second time because she did a horrible job the first time. I'm going to have my refrigerator cleaned, my shower scrubbed, and yes, the rosebushes weeded... I don't know what else but I know she's gonna WISH she was at school.

Zippity-do-dah, zippity-day, my-oh-my what a wonderful slave... (what movie was that from?)

It's good to be the Queen.

I don't think I've ever seen

I don't think I've ever seen that movie. I think I saw it on "Overboard" when Kurt Russell kidnapped Goldie Hawn after she lost her memory and convinced her she was his wife...

Oh I remember those days with

Oh I remember those days with DS!
I went so far as to make him pick rocks out of the neighbors garden, he pulled all my weeds, painted the shed, move the firewood, racked the leaves, cleaned out the fridge, washed all the windows, swept and washed the garage floor...all while watching the kids splash in the pool on a hot summer day!

Have I mentioned he has NOT been in any trouble since and is on honor roll now.
works wonders!

For my parents it was always

For my parents it was always the cleaning out of cabinets and closets. One time when my father was tired of my mouth, he made me stay in my room for 24 hours and since my closet and drawers were a mess, he tore everything out of them and threw them on the floor for me to re-organize. Now he was a naval officer and I don't condone that extreme, but I will say this, it left an impact. I am 47 years old and my closets and drawers are pretty damn organized....

If I had been suspended, which I never was, my life would have been hell....She needs to lose every bit of furniture in her room. She keeps a mattress and a few outfits....She needs some serious hardship if you want to turn her around...

My friend was almost a SM

My friend was almost a SM once. She was put in charge of the SD once because she kept getting in trouble. She had her move a pile of landscaping rocks from the front of the house to the back AFTER she cleaned out the area where the rocks were going to go (weeds/grass and old mulch/rock). That girl was hating life.

Oh I can think of a couple of

Oh I can think of a couple of chores that would send your SS screaming back to school and appologizing profusely to her teacher.

Does your bathroom need retiling? How about cleaning the roof gutters? Got any silverware that needs polishing? Dust cobwebs from hanging lightfixtures? Return empty cans/beer bottles?

Say...Can I borrow SD13 for a week? I'm a hairy guy and my shower needs to be scrubbed and cleaned of my sheddings...

It's time for spring

It's time for spring cleaning! As in, clean the entire house from top to bottom!! Move furniture and dust/vacuum behind/under everything. Dust every little knickknack. Wash the windows. Sweep/mop all floors. Heck, give her a toothbrush to scrub the toilet, sink, tub, and all tile floors. Make her knees, arms, and back ACHE.

OMG y'all are about to get me

OMG y'all are about to get me in trouble!!! DH came home early and sitting in the same room with me while I read these responses and I am sitting here giggling and can't explain myself....tehehehehe...

I did the exact same thing with my kids when they misbehaved. Not ONE of them ever got suspended but if they played sick and then miraculously recovered, then guess what? Zippity doo dah!

Seriously, we've spent FIVE hours on the bathroom so far. She comes in the living room and says it's done, I go inspect and send her back. I can play this game all day long. No skin off my back.

Getting ready to hand her over to DD21. If she thinks I'm a slave driver just wait til she meets Attila the Hun. My DD doesn't play around lol. She learned how to clean from me }:)

If I did that with my skids,

If I did that with my skids, those shi'theads would dig a hole big enough to fit a tank!

Corners of the floor are a bitch to get clean.........

Wainscoting anyone??

I'm totally in love with the digging a hole idea.
