I hate arguments like this one.

I have had way to many of them.

literal-mindedness in domestic warfare

Got a few minutes while 107 messages (since 9 last night!) load, so here's one

for ya...

This morning I kept back from school again. He seems okay, but he has

not had a bath in more than a week, and that includes the twelve hours he puked

on himself. Today, he WILL take a bath.

" I don't go to school? I'm still sick? " he asked me.

" No, you seem pretty healthy. But you NEED a bath. "

<horrified look -- he does this well, bug eyes and tendons standing out in the

neck>

" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! "

" You're dirty, ! You puked on yourself, and wouldn't let me bathe you!

If want to STAY healthy, you'll take the bath! "

here comes his coup de grace....

" In the bathroom <at school> the sign says: stay healthy - wash your HANDS. "

Poor kid thought he won with that one!

Yes, I so love how our kids don't get the idea or need for personal hygene.

This is the topic in 's special class right now and we had to send in

his toothbrush today. :-) I'm telling you, I love this new program!

(I made get right into the tub after he did this before. He was quite

willing.)

Jacquie,

You can buy them at stores for around 10 to 20 dollars here that you just

sit on a table like a lamp.

" Which bathroom do you want your bath? " <refusal to answer>

So I cracked open a bathtub toy we've been holding on to as a gift for my

friend's kid that has been coveting...and now the bathtub is filling

and he's dancing around waiting for it.

AND, the water has blue food colouring AND bubbles in it.

If I could get a disco ball for the bathroom, I would. LOL

Coloured water is the biggest bath bribe we have here. We go through sets

of food colouring like other people go through I don't know what. Coloured

bath water, clear plastic glasses that you can fill with clear water then

add drops of colour to and then watch them swirl through, mixing colours in

clear water...a pretty cheap way to get a bath in desperate circumstances.

Bubbles are second best.

Something that used to thrill him was a toothbrush that the handle changed

colour according to temp. We'd put him in a warm bath and give him a glass

(plastic) of cold water, and he'd get in and have a ball putting the

toothbrush first in one temp and then the other.

And I KNOW a disco ball would get him in there! LOL
