I am sorry but it seems to me kit that you seem to have some parenting issues. I reread all of your posts and you seem to be spanking a lot and your kids do not seem to be responding to that. I am not one to say don't spank but I just thought I would offer you a suggestion that worked for me when I felt my family was out of control. I made a chart and on one side I put an action and on the other I out a conscience that they would face no matter what. I did not issue warnings at all because their warning came when we had a family meeting and I showed them the chart plus they knew that these things were unacceptable and were using the warnings to actually get away with stuff they knew was wrong. I placed the chart from lest severe to worst and had the consiences fit the crime so I was not just spanking but teaching them lessons. This cut down on a lot of stress for me because I didnt have to do anything but refe to the chart, I didn't have to create a punishment or even get stressed out over it. It was right there in black and white. I also created a second chart with all that I expected them to do that day, a sticker for each item completed and a reward such a TV at the end of the day. I even had a list for my 3 year old with things on it such as get dressed and I drew a picture of a little girl getting dressed, then making her bed, brushing her teeth and hair. I know this is not what you asked for but I wanted to offer some advice from from mom to another. I hope I have helped and not offended. Good luck.

The worst thing either of my kids have done was when my first was 18 months old. He got up in the middle of the night and went for the fridge. I woke up the next morning to chocolate syrup all over my white-ish furniture, my white-ish carpeting, shredded cheese spread around my house like confetti, a gallon of milk, a jug of juice, and a gallon of water all over the kitchen. 2 dozen eggs EVERYWHERE. The worst part? We had a dog that followed my son around everywhere he went, including that morning...after we got it all cleaned up, we spent the day chasing the dog vomit.
His punishment, I made him get down on his hands and knees and help me clean it up.
Needless to say, I've been very lucky. My kids are 6 and 4, and that's the worst they've done.

I don't remember what the worst thing I did was but the worst thing my 7 year old has done has been covering his younger brothers(ages5 and 3) faces with blankets and pillows when they were alseep.We took toys away from him,sent him to time out,sent him to his room but so far nothing has worked.
