WiseOwlKnits Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 DD has been making some poor choices lately so I'm tomato staking her to me for the next few days. I haven't tomato staked her since she was little. What do you do with an older kid who you're tomato staking? Especially when you're 37.5 weeks pregnant. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsabelC Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Ask her to help with cooking, cleaning and whatever other housework you want to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momma aimee Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I'd not do anything differnt than I normally do -- i did with foster kids all the time (CAC = constant adult contact). I lead my normal life and she had to follow along -- after all her loss of freedom was part of the point "If i can't trust your choice when i am out of sight, I'll have to keep you in my sight". Now for things she had to do -- her home work time, her chores or evening classes or groups) I'd grab a book and go along and sit right by her :) so she'd not "get out of anything" for it. YTrust me the girls i had loooooved me or the other mom sitting in their room from 'room time' till lights out with a book since the girl in question was under CAC. But I think the importnat thing is for it to effect her and not you. she has to be inconvienced to follow you around. JMO Though nice and big pregant, I am sure i could find her a ton of extra chorse in the area i am -- cleaning out a silverware drawer while you cook?
