If they did, they learned fast, quick and in a hurry that mama didnt play that.
I cant believe your mother went and chased your child. In my house, you can run and hide but I will not waste time and energy coming after you. Eventually you have to come home and when you do, thats all she wrote.

she didn't chase. that was my bad wording. she had to hunt her down. courtney was in the front yard. due to safety issues, and time constraints on wednsedays, it was a judgement call (and a good one) to not leave her out there. had it been the back yard, and we didn't have the time issues of wednesday, she would not have been hounded as such.
and trust me, grandmother had the paddle in hand. the paddle is not an idle threat in this household. meaning, if it comes out and the unacceptable behavior is not corrected or stopped IMMEDIATELY it IS used.
by the wording of your post, and I hope I have misnterpreted, it sounds as if I came across to mean my dot acts this way all the time. she doesn't which is why I am in such shock. this was the first time she has been this defiant.
now if it happens again, then I am in a state of I don't know what to do.
if it does, I will probably pull her out of the Challenge program at school for a while.
