I am in diapers Every one else is the baby ?

Why is it, that in my house, I am the one who wears diapers yet my daughter, son and nephew are the ones that act like babies? She is 15 he is 10 and my son is 5. It seams as thou I am the only one who knows how to put things back where they came from or pick up after my self. I came into my room tonight and thought I would type a few lines , but before I could I had to clean up around the computer just to get to the key board ! ! ! ! Dang I'm mad about that. Does any one else have that problem or can you give any advice on how to correct this?

Paitence laura . They are just kids and yes it makes all people mad and yes they should pick up after themselfs, but all kids are the same short attention span and quick to get on to the new thing at the moment. just pick it up smile because you love them and think one day they will move on and you will kinda miss hearing them and picking up their crap layin around !!!! and then you can luagh because it will be their kids doin the same shit to them LOL 😁 😁 😁 😁 paybacks suk :😃 :😃 :😃

You are so right ! Just at the moment it can be very frustrating. I do however think that some amount of responsibility is in order , they need to develop this to serve them later in life.

I will smile and do my best to lovingly bring them up to be adults that any one would be pleased to know.

I know what you mean. Are you open with your family about the diapers? If you are maybe you could threaten them with diaper punishment if they continue to act like babies. They know you have the tools to get it done. Otherwise, just keep up the good work and remind them they won't always have you to clean up after them so they better learn good discipline now. Good luck with all that.

I know my brother never picks up anything and my mom blames me half the time, and she thinks alright to skip a few days of work to see her boyfriend while saying I'm not trying to find one (Bull >😢). I wear diapers and I'm one of most mature people in my house.

Mamasboy hit it on the head Laura. You need to do your best to instill in your children what they need to do in life to be good people. Sometimes it takes some hammering to get it in to their heads (figuratively speaking) They wouldn't get it all, no matter what you do, but most of what you teach them will take one day.

And as Mamasboy said, payback will one day come. You will be standing watching your children parent their children, and struggling with the same difficulties as you do now, this will be your time to relish 😄 😄 😄 You can laugh when it happens, slap your knee, and say "thank you God"!!!

So hang tough for now, and look to the future! LYAO (laugh your ass off)

Oh, and as a bit of a PS. My mother had a trick with me when she wanted my toys cleaned up. She would say clean them up now! or I will. Which meant they were going in the trash. Or at the very least she would pick up everything, and just heap it all in to some container. This for me was offal, because I liked my things organized. For example, when my legos had to be put away, I had to have them all back in there proper places in the right bins.

That was just me I know, this wouldn't work with all kids.

But the threat of you picking something up, and them loosing use of it might have some effect. You have to mean it too!!! If you say you're going to do it, you have to do it.

Well Thanks for all the encouragement but it's gonna be a long slow process. It's been some time since my first post and already I have had to recover ground , like dirty cloths on the bathroom floor. Seems like no body can be bothered to put theirs in the hamper. I don't go for physical punishment but positive and negative re-enforcement doesn't really work as fast.

I like the Idea of diaper punishment thou My mom would approve I know , she threaten me with it once. I only wish I had the fortitude to push her into doing it. But I was the "Good Son " ha ! look at me now , I turned out to be the ugly daughter, LOL. And try as she mite the potty training thing never did take hold with me, Well LuvsIt, I guess she should have used a bigger hammer.

When my kids were smaller I used to take thing away that were not put away ( gameboys, toys, etc.). When they used the computer they are not allowed to have food or drink around it or they lose the privilege to use it. That means no use even if they have school assignments to get done.

I always reward my kids in some way for doing good things, but there are always going to repercussions for misbehavior without physical harm. The rewards don't have to be huge, but just something that gets their attention and makes them want to try to help out and do good things.

My oldest was a 3.75 career high school gpa and is now a freshman at Marquette University in Wisconsin. My youngest is in 8th grade and a 3.1 student but still needs encouragement in helping out and picking up but is getting much better.

It's never too late to start.

All kids now days just tend to tune out the yelling and scolding. So, I found the merit/demerit system to work quite well.

Good Luck with your kids. Either way one day they will thank you.
