The Mommy Confessions: I've locked my kids out

”Mommy

Every parent sends their kids outside, right?  The thing is, I can't stand it when they are constantly coming in for one thing or another.

I'm thirtsy.
I'm hot.
I need a sword.
Look at this leaf.
Look at this flower.
Look at this bug.
Look at this rock.
Look at this stick.
Look at this pinecone.
I need to go to the bathroom.
He's being mean to me.
He hit me.
He called me a meanie butt.

So I lock the door.  They can get water from the hose and pee in the woods.  I send them outside when I can tell they're getting stir crazy or I need to mop the kitchen.  No matter how many times I tell them to stay outside, the only way they get the hint is if I make it impossible for them to come back in.

Just call it-independence training. They're learning to do a few things on their own, lol! I don't blame you!

Good idea! I was mopping the floor today and they continued to come in walking on the wet floor with their dirty little feet. I will lock the door next time. LOL!

LOL...my daughter locked me out a few times. Now, I know what she was trying to tell me. She needed some alone time, if she would only mop my floors.

That is an idea! I get tired of the same thing too! Besides all this going in and out lets flies in and the air out. I dont blame you at all!
