It all stems from 'if you don't eat your dinner you won't get pudding' etc... it works in any form and I use this all the time. I too have four kids, one is a teenager and most of the time now it's 'if you don't do [insert requirement], I'll take your mobile phone' lol - works a treat xCarolynne @ mummyendeavours.co.ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00522581803462566009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939318729068383326.post-30035713186756748042014-03-22T09:02:53.994+00:002014-03-22T09:02:53.994+00:00I don't remember my mum or dad using bribery o...I don't remember my mum or dad using bribery on me and I can't think of any times I've used it on my kids but I'm sure I must have done on more than one occasion!Shell Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006168779893403911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939318729068383326.post-74959400096621257762014-03-21T11:49:07.131+00:002014-03-21T11:49:07.131+00:00Couldn't agree more.
