I know this depends a lot on how often and how much you have them.
My daughter and 2 children lived with us for 10 months. They moved out about 2 yrs ago. I still have the kids often. We recently took the 4 yr old to Florida for 3 weeks. He was very good but of course he did have to be disciplined some. I tried spanking for a while with the 2 of them but I no longer do that. My daughter says my granddaughter, age 6, never thinks I am serious. My grandson has his moments. Disciplining my grandchildren is not the same as my children. I wish I didn't have to discipline the grandchildren at all.
My daughter told me today she is the only one who is consistent. She says her husband isn't and that I am not and that paw paw isn't either.
She said I try to reason with them or bribe them. This is true. My daughter and I both went together to take the 4 yr old to the doctor. He was not as good as he is when I take him alone. My daughter says he always acts bad when she takes him. This doctor, an ENT, has a play area for the children. I told my grandson he could play in the play area for 3 minutes before we left if he was good when the doctor came in. My daughter said that was bribery and she said she doesn't like that.
How do yall discipline your grandchildren? Do you hate it as much as I do?
