Now #3 will be where they will test you the most. My parents never, ever told me but one time and I obeyed them. If I hesitated, they may ask if I heard them (which was the only warning I'd get) and then if I didn't move very quickly, I paid the consequences. There was no yelling, period! It was all done with calm authority. I used the same rule with my children. I wasn't abused and neither were my children. And guess what? Nobody ever minded seeing us come to their house with our kids, b/c they minded us.
Sandi2, May I ask you what specific things you and your parents did or used as consequences? I am really, really struggling with getting both my D4 and D3 to obey me on the first try and would love to know what worked in your situation. If you have time, perhaps you could post on my own thread so we don't turn the focus away from JamesH, unless he wants to hear that as well. Thanks!
JamesH, I am sorry for the hijack!
