Gah, I was a brat, lol. <br />I think I'll go to the hairbrush before the paddle. For some reason, I've got a paddle as the worst thing in my head. Well..

Wooden spoons are recommended by some and easy to obtain. <br /><br />My preference is a cane - soak the business half in water for a couple hours for more sting,less noise and less likelihood of breaking. You get instant welts with that, too.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18156162412655551672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001733756393901203.post-66498892026931129642012-12-19T13:38:12.418-05:002012-12-19T13:38:12.418-05:00Aw, yes.

I agree, it was always there, I just didn't pay any attention to it before DD. <br /><br />My husband recently bought a huge wooden paddle and just looking at it is enough to make me cringe. He gave me a few experimental swats with it. I think when used for real, it would be seriously painful!! My husband works with his hands and they're pretty strong and rough/tough. He can make just his hand hurt pretty intensely. I'm not in any hurry to step up to the wood!<br /><br />I love shower sharing too :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001733756393901203.post-29058970638051347392012-12-19T13:33:16.374-05:002012-12-19T13:33:16.374-05:00OH my!

4 kiddos and...OH my! Your laundry sounds like mine!<br />4 kiddos and two are old enough to do their own... but somehow it still piles up! My house can look beautiful, but if you try my laundry room door, you might get an avalanche of dirty clothes tumbling down on you!<br />LOL<br />I have wondered if "H" will spank me for that as well one day...<br /><br />Implements... we don't use many, but stay away from rubber rulers!<br />O M G<br />instant welts... We would only use that for something pretty bad though, not maintenance.<br /><br />Luckily, it's just his hand for that!!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001733756393901203.post-51405291017345875022012-12-19T13:23:05.501-05:002012-12-19T13:23:05.501-05:00I've got different experience with laundry whe...I've got different experience with laundry when they grow up. 3 sets of clothes a day are not unusual. When you have worn a shirt a staggering 15 minutes, you can fold it and put it back in your closet, or drop it in the laundry basket. Then magically it will fold itself and reappear in the closet. Simple choice.<br />It looks like you've started your own version of Bootcamp.<br />A wooden hairbrush should be in his arsenal, it wiil keep the evil belt away from your behind.Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15378333708912059004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001733756393901203.post-47895185565508419412012-12-19T11:43:54.514-05:002012-12-19T11:43:54.514-05:00It's not necessarily inconsistent when you don...It's not necessarily inconsistent when you don't get the laundry or whatever household chores done routinely especially with little ones afoot. Things come up and with kids sometimes they have to dealt with first or instead of.Don't worry the laundry will still be there and as long as no one has to go naked it will be fine. Don;t think of it as being inconsistent, think of it as reprioritizing ,being flexible or whatever works for you.<br /> As far as implements go the right paddle can be very nice. Mr. D bought one that is leather on one side and soft and furry on the other.<br /> Hope that helps, Love Mrs. DMrs. Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030777115633435739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001733756393901203.post-3143098928512053682012-12-19T10:19:09.948-05:002012-12-19T10:19:09.948-05:00In my experience the laundry gets easier as they g... In my experience the laundry gets easier as they get older. Downside, their clothes get bigger so you can't throw as much in the washer as you once could. Hope that makes you feel better :)<br /><br />Can't help you with the implement thing, unless you pick up a few things and have an experiment night like we did ( stay away from plastic hangers, and silicone spatulas is all I'm going to say about that!).<br /><br />The look...Barney said he used to give them to me before ttwd too- I just was never looking!
