Hmmm... Barrack Obama's mama used to wake him at 4 a.m. to begin his lessons each day and when he complained she would tell him, "Lookie here, mister... this isn't a walk in the park for me either." and look at him today...
not sure why, could be the way he delivers it, "look mister... this isn't a walk in the park for me either".
Yeah, I wish. When I moved, I took the kids out of daycare and opted to work around school because they're both in school all day, I can be home at night with them and start living a somewhat normal life. If I could stay home I would, no doubt about that. But I'm a single mom:shrug:Hmmm...

or 
that commercial makes me laugh
It's because it sounds gay and no one really talks like that
Can't be worse than mine
Next time make it look like you have an important meeting to go to, tell him he can't stay home b/c you're not going to be home. Does he have an alarm clock? I was thinking about getting my cub one.
I know, I know!! He's so charming, and he's my baby! I let him get away with the whole, "Mommy, I love you, can't I just stay with you all day, pweaasse!!"
But that was pre-k and I've been fighting the urge to keep him with me for a year now.. He's no longer a baby, I know this..
Oh crap, I'm welling up over here.
No help, only trouble.
Hmm, that opens another door...The Bebe Daddy
Just got off the phone with someone from the mentoring program at school. Confirmed that it's ok to send him in his pj's, dirty, anyway I can get him to go...
She'll be checking in on him daily.
For now, I hear him rolling around in his bed.. He's so pissed that I haven't caved on the punishment. I discussed the mentoring thing and he thought he was off the hook..
His day is gonna suck!
My darling 6 year old, who is the apple of my eye and the cutest thing in the whole world, is a lazy, whiney momma's boy and I can't take it any longer!!
So, since he complains soooo much that he's tired and he hates school, and I fight him about everything from picking up to helping out to getting dressed in a timely manner...
This morning I let him stay home, again, but every time he leaves his bed, I say get dressed.
I hope this works. I've tried cajoling, bribery, and threats.....Let's see how much he hates school and schleps around after sitting on the top bunk alone with out toys for 6 hours....
He doesn't care if O have to go to the OBGYN, he wants to laze around
He takes vitamins too
I tried adjusting bedtime to work better for both of my kids. Older child get's up at 5am, but he doesn't have to get up until about 7:30. I've tried two different bed times and that's a PITA but it seems to work.
The oldest goes to bed when she's ready, which is generally 9pm. I make him go to be no later than 10. If he gets up too early, he falls asleep before it gets dark at the end of the day.
It's an Ikea loft bed. The TV is underneath
I agree.
