today. At Target. I told him if he was a good boy we would get a treat.
The worst part is I then treated myself to something too.
Stressed? Just a little.
Parts of me feel guilty. The other parts are screaming, "when you go to the store with two kids nineteen months apart who are both having a rather ornery week, then you can judge."

Bribe? nahhh, that's a compromise, my dear. Welcome to mommyhood.
Ahh- treats can always make stress go away...at least until you have eaten it all. Way to be a super mom!
I've bribed my child before, usually with chocolate. There are days and times when maintaining sanity is more important than minor issues like bribery. :)
