So we made it to week three. Week three, as I'm sure you can deduce from the title of this here post, is to ignore.
I'm supposed to target two behaviors that I'd like him to decrease. I picked the Loudly Demanding Whatever the Fuck I Want Right Now Damnit behavior. Along with the You Didn't Give Me Exactly What I Demanded So Now I'm Screaming "This World Is Hate" behavior.
I tried. It was hard. I failed. I dusted myself off and tried again. And I failed. And then I watched Ty laugh at me for failing this difficult parenting technique that he has completely and totally mastered. He is and will forever be the King of Ignoring.
Anyway, I tried again. And this time when he started in on the behaviors I started singing. Loudly. I sang Singing in the Rain and walked away without a care in the world.
I am finding perverse pleasure in the torture this is causing him.
Singing as torture, wait didn't the US army use that tactic to flush some third worl dictator out of his mansion? You may be on to something here...good luck and try Manilow, that might speed up the process.
