I needed their rooms cleaned up.
I wanted them to practice their piano.
Showers are required.
Litter box must be cleaned.
Please girls, do your chores.
Girls, remember I asked you to clean the litter box?
Girls….
SweetGirl YOU are the one with the piano lesson tomorrow, not me.
nag nag nag nag
Is this my life now?
Screw this.
Let the bribery begin.
Clean your room and you can have ice cream for desert.
(You have never seen a room cleaned so fast in your life)
Who wants McDonald’s? Oh gee, wait a second. Did you clean the litter box and practice your piano yet? We can’t possibly go for a treat like McDonalds until you take care of those things first!
What’s that? You want to stay up and watch a little extra TV? Hmmm well sure, but how about jumping in the shower first.
Is this wrong? Maybe, but frankly it’s been a long flippin week here in the Suburbs and it is only Tuesday. If bribing your kids is wrong, I don’t want to be right!
Oh and PS. If you meet a Mama in the Suburbs who says she has never bribed her babies. Yeah, she is a liar.
Hello dude!
It is my first time here. I just wanted to say hi!
My mom totally bribed us. It totally worked. Ain’t no shame!
Must say I might even work harder for some awesome bribery… here that husband.
McDonalds ALWAYS worked on me – still does! LOL! That’s what my husband uses on me when he wants something!
I bribe all the time – its the only way that I can get my boys to cooperate sometimes!
Carry no shame or guilt in bribery…it works…then they continue on…thinking they still get the bribe at a later date…suckers!
Some times bribery is a must! I do it all the time. It works, it’s easier and I’m tired. 🙂
Sometimes I think they just wait for the bribing before they will do anything.
I’ll give you chocolate if you don’t tell anyone that I bribe, too.
I bribe my kids all the time! It is a wonderful tool.
He he. My dad used to bribe us with spanking, only in reverse. “Do you want to get spanked? No? Then behave OR ELSE!”
I was gypped!
