Well in a nut shell, Kalen thinks he rules the roost. He has been so mouthy, defiant, rude, and ungrateful...that it was time to pull the plug. The only way to get your point across to him is to take away the things he truly loves. Cell Phone & Playstation...these are officially mine for the next 2 weeks.
I hate doing this, I really really do. But what I hate even more is arguing with my hubby about stupid stuff after we have dealt with Kalen for a few hours. Or wanting to pull my hair out because Kalen wont stop arguing.
So here is an over dramatic picture of Punkarino's prized possessions. He will truly die of embarrassment if he ever reads this post!! But if he does read it I do want him to know that we only do it because we love him and someday he MAY thank us for it.
teenagers terrify me. hope the lockdown helps!
