Miracle Cure for Bad Table Manners
Tried this over the weekend and it worked. SS10 was told that he must use good manners, utensils, napkins, the whole nine yards WITHOUT being reminded - OR - no dessert! Imagine everyone's surprise when he ate like the perfect little gentleman. DH agreed to this, I had the pleasure of announcing it to the little darling and now DH finally understands the power of consequences. Woo hoo!

I would love to do this but
I would love to do this but unless I padlocked the cupboards and fridge, it wouldn't work with step-demon (sd14). She would simply wait until DH and I went to bed then sneak into the kitchen and chow down on whatever she wanted to stuff in her face.
Though I believe this kid would benefit from a huge kick in the ass (or two, or one hundred).....I feel sorry for her. UberSkank is jealous of step-demon's looks so she feeds her junk and keeps her fat AND lets her wear ugly, tight clothes and heavy make-up. Apparently UberSkank doesn't like the competition of a way prettier female in her home.
