One of the boys didn't shut the door on the big freezer all the way yesterday, and ruined about $200 worth of food. Maybe more, I am trying to salvage some of it. Kevin was so furious at them, screaming cursing and informing them they were going to school so they could learn something! Both of them have been told many times they have to push on the door of the freezer to make sure they have shut it all the way. Not only that they have also been told not to open the freezer. This happened yesterday after returning home from delgrosso amusement park, where we went to get their baseball trophies, but did not stay all afternoon to go on rides as planned due to their disobedient behavior the night before. they were told that night that they would not be able to go if they continued their behavior, and Jeffrey even said, ok! in the morning I said to kevin, lets go and get the trophies and then come home. So that's what they did. I did purchase tickets to go on one ride. Jeffrey was very upset that we couldn't do anything else. So much for not wanting to punish, eh? I had a conversation with them both about what it means when we say Stop and Don't. They just don't care, they want to do what they want to do! Yes I want them to be free and do what they want, as long as it does not conflict with what they have been told! I am so tired of their wilful destructive behavior. Maybe I should just give in and send them to school!
