Honest to goodness if we made it through
half a day with no whining
I simply wouldn't know what to think.
My darling almost-four-year-old knows her way
around a whine like nobody's business.
Anyone who believes in evolution is a fool
because if it had any
validity,
we would have seen this barbaric, yet never-ending
behavior of littles everywhere
disappear centuries ago.
Do you think if I posted this sign all over my
house,
plus taped to my forehead,
it would make a difference??
I'll let you know....
It's worth a try.
Oh never mind.

In a dept store yesterday I saw these big buttons that you push & sayings come out of it. One was WHINING.....lol...sounded just like MY 4 yr old.....wonder who's getting royalties from that!! I can't imagine going out & paying money for WHINE!!!
I want to know if it works too. Katie is the queen of whining these days. She used to be so sweet! Sigh....
Oh I am so with you! I think Anna attended the same school of whine with Lucy! They graduated Magna Cum Laude!
If you find a cure- PLEASE let me know!!
Sister, if it works I will permanently tattoo it in big bold letters all the way acrossed my big ole.......never mind.
It is worth a try!!! O the whining around here.

MY quote is "use your words, not whining!" It takes a little time , but when whining begins, you hold your hand up in a "stop" sort of thing. You say, whining hurts my ears and everyone else's. I will listen to your words but not your whining. As long as the whining continues you just walk away. BUT as soon as they stop and utter a word, you say, "yes? Did you need something? I also say(if it is around mid day... "oh, you must be feeling sleepy and needing a nap to be this whiney" it usually helps. My 4 and 5 yr old are at that edge of napnes where they can do without it most days but I use it as a sanity time for ME if they are being whiney.
Oh my...we are all with you, sister!
Yes...please let us know if it works! LOL! I have a 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 year old and must know when you find the "fix" for this issue! :) A common phrase is our house is "use your words"
Posting the signs doesn't work.. Tried it.. I even made my own pottery sign. No appreciation for art either!
I have to say, I have the Queen of whining in my preschool class. Even with 2 high maintainence girls in my house I have not seen anything like her abilities! The other 3 year olds even cringe when she starts and you would think they would be immune to it!!!
Just remember when someone is whining in your house there are 50 million whiners whining across the globe!!! Your not alone!!! Sheri
