Poll: When one gets in trouble

My girls are so funny. If one of them does something that they are not supposed to the other one has to do it too. If Lorelei is bothering the baby and I tell her no then Becca will march right over there and do the same thing, and vice versa. Its like they think that if one gets in trouble the other needs to get into trouble too. Do yours do this?

 

We went though a phase when I was disciplining one the other would start doing the same thing. Then, yes they would both go on a time out but in separate locations.

But lately they don't seem to be doing that as much anymore. In fact my DD, usually starts chimming in as a mother hen, "No, No Blake. Get down!" or whatever he is doing!! :laughing:

That is cute Trish! And it is SO hard not to laugh!

 

Joshua does this all the time. Last time my mom kept them for a few hours she commented on this. She said "everytime I get on to Katie for doing something Joshie will go right behind her and do it" So I started noticing it more and more lol
Joshua did tell Katie "no no Sis" Easter when she was doing something he didn't approve of at my grandmothers lolKatie just screams "Shoshie!" when she thinkss he is doing something wrong.

 

Mine are truly each other's shadow. They do police each other but more likely than not will correct and then join the naughty activity so that I'm getting them both. I have also noticed that I'll stop one from doing something and the other will follow right behind and do the same exact thing.

That's the pattern here too.

 

we suffer from a serious case of "monkey see monkey do" but not after one has already gotten in trouble.

they do insist on being in time out together though. If ethan goes to time out, anthony gets sad and cries "my time out too" until he gets to go to time out too. i don't mind, as long as they quit doing whatever the first one got in trouble for!
