And I’ll bet you have, too
No, I’ve never done it. Even though you know I am a fan of the stuff. But thought about it? Oh, yeah.

About
A childcare provider is expected to be a superhuman mix of the Madonna and Mary Poppins, ever patient, loving, kind, always delighting in the sweetness of her charges. I don’t do such a bad job, all in all, and it’s far more likely the parents than the children who strain my sanity most days. But I’m here to tell you: It’s Not ALL Mary Poppins…

I laugh every time I see that picture. 🙂 My husband and I joke about covering a wall in velcro, and making our daughter (she’ll be three in October) a velcro suit to match so she’ll stick to the wall for punishments.
Lucky for her, the cost is a bit prohibitive. 🙂
Instead of an entire wall, how about just a strip of it? With a matching strip on the back of her shirt, you could have a cost-effective time-out spot!!
Hehehehehe
It is a thought sometimes, but I don’t think my kids would stay still long enough, lol. DH’s school’s principal got duct taped to the wall as a reward for the school doing something great (don’t remember what) – he said it took an incredible amount of duct tape to hold up an adult.
I wondered how they got that child up there. Seems it would take a lot of time, at least two, if not three adults — and a co-operative baby. In which case, why are you feeling the need to do this, again?
My brother’s first grade teacher. Mrs. Burburich, taped him to his seat with duct tape. He and Tommy both–she was going through the worst menopause in the history of womankind and Ian was not going to get the best of her. No, she was not fired…
“the worst menopause in the history of womankind”. LMAO
My second-grade teacher, Mrs. Patton, was a wonderful, wonderful teacher. Who had rather quirky discipline techniques… When Tyrone said a bad word, she told him that if he was going to let garbage come out of his mouth, he belonged with garbage– and, holding him by the ankles, dipped his head into the small garbage can beside her desk. When Randy would not sit still and shut up, she took him “by the scruff of the neck and the seat of his pants”, swung him back and forth a few times, and threatened to throw him out the window.
As I said, quirky. The essential bit of info here, though, is that everyone, including Tyrone, Randy, and Mrs. Patton, were laughing. She was a lovely woman.
MY fantasy usually involved duct taping them to the bed. OR, on unusually naughty days to a post near an anthill. Kidding.:)
Sort of.
Your children are all still quite young. Are you sure you meant to be writing this in the past tense??
He he, I shall have to bear this in mind if my “little conversation” doesn’t work! 🙂
The Broken Man
Duct tape. Solution to so many of the world’s problems. 🙂
When I taught elementary school, I always secretly wished the walls were velcro and the kids wore velcro outfits. That thought of sticking superhyper kid up on a wall would always bring a smile to my face.
Well, it hasn’t crossed my mind in a while anyway. lol:)
Now I just send to 6 year old to catch the 1 year old when she’s having “one of those days” and I’m less worn out that way. 🙂
That picture is so funny. Now if someone will just invent a mute button for teenagers.
We use duct tape to put a “dupey belt” on the 2-yr-old I nanny for who will take off her diaper during bed time and nap time and go potty in her crib (yes, that means changing her sheets every morning and afternoon). Sure, she needs to be potty trained, but holding it for nap time comes later, so in the meatnime, the duct tape is saving us from changing so many sheets~
