Constantly Scoulding
I feel like a psycho. Like I am not normal but I just think that order is necessary. My kid is not a huge discipline problem, hopefully he never will be but as I look into the future I worry that I will just be scoulding and yelling nothing else. I have had a bad outlook on stuff lately and a bit of a doomsday thought on my mind.
Order, children need order, so when do you break out the "I'm a fun kindergarden teacher type" and put away the "I'm the headmaster at the catholic school" thing? See, there are a bunch of neighborhood boys that hang out next door: the Chucky Cheese house. I don't think they all belong there but they are there almost every day between 2:30 and 6pm. I let them play in my backyard one day last week and now, no stopping them. See -ORDER- I want to set boundaries. I'm a freak I know it but these children should not be allowed to run freely into my yard, on my back porch, into my kitchen whenever they want. And they will if I don't lock the door.

I had three beautiful pink roses growing on a wild bush at the foot of our deck and I picked the only one that was ready. I went out later today to get diapers and they were gone!! Picked off!! Now, what is that about? Did a three or six year old boy pick my roses? They didn't just dissappear! So that's it, I have officially locked my gate the best I can and I will be setting rules for them when they come.
1) No entering the house.
2) No playing on the deck: If you've seen our deck it's not really safe-it doesn't have sides.
3) Only play in my yard when I am home and you've asked me.
4) Make sure your mom (or guardian) knows where you are.
5) No picking on my kid: yes we did have a problem with this last time.
Am I psycho?! I think this will make things better right! As long as I am the adult and the yard owner I should right? Man I'm screwed....
