I was mortified because we definately didn't have the money to fix itand everything we tried to remove it didn't work, so my mom just put a rug over it until she was ready to sell her house. The carpet cleaner guy said that he could bleach that spot out and re-dye it. You couldn't even tell the difference. She didn't tell me how much it cost, but it sure is a much cheaper option than new carpet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22155253.post-21419145569646488902007-10-04T15:41:00.000-04:002007-10-04T15:41:00.000-04:00http://forum.doityourself.com/showthread.php?t=646...http://forum.doityourself.com/showthread.php?t=64607<BR/><BR/>Not sure if this will work since it may have set in already, but it may be worth a shot! Sounds like the key is to not use a steam cleaner.

It really does mean a lot - I was quite overwhelmed with all the support :) Overwhelmed in a good way. I'm going to poke around your old blog and I will be emailing you :)<BR/><BR/>I'm no good with stains...but with discipline, I would remove the child and deal with it. Judging from the looks in my friends' kids' eyes, they know it's an embarrassment for you and play it for all it's worth!Marcia (123 blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15581613927187600748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22155253.post-70071855376511829052007-10-04T08:39:00.000-04:002007-10-04T08:39:00.000-04:00I have hauled some little tail off to the pastor's...I have hauled some little tail off to the pastor's office more than once. Not to talk to the pastor, but to get a private place to "discipline" aforementioned tail. If you're not a spanker, you could implement the "naughty chair" which happens to be just about any chair which is in sight.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09327853756206724940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22155253.post-75059240237895979912007-10-04T01:42:00.000-04:002007-10-04T01:42:00.000-04:00We discipline with a "naughty corner".

My precious little guy swung at me and told me he was going to bonk me because I told him he couldn't have more candy at church - as I was standing at a table recruiting participants for our Mommy and Me group.<BR/><BR/>After I picked my pride off the ground, I grab him by the arm and pulled him over to a corner and introduced him to a naughty corner. I got cheers when I came back to my table. <BR/><BR/>We like the naughty corner for it's portability. And when I can't find a corner, it has become the naughty wall, naughty spot, you get it...Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681427079215820230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22155253.post-80522057378044912142007-10-04T00:11:00.000-04:002007-10-04T00:11:00.000-04:00I have no advice about the toner.As for disciplini...I have no advice about the toner.<BR/><BR/>As for disciplining in church, we usually crouch down to our son's level, look him in the eye to get his complete attention, sternly correct him, make him apologize if necessary, and move on. <BR/><BR/>Just remember that since your son is 2 even if you correct him on something, he's probably going to turn around 5 minutes later and do it again. They just don't have the attention span yet to figure that out.<BR/><BR/>We've had to remove Snuggle Bug from the church pew a few times and walk him into the cry room. We never take him outside of the church because he likes that.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, good luck!Overwhelmed!https://www.blogger.com/profile/03213476355485623906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22155253.post-2670599043272247412007-10-03T22:51:00.000-04:002007-10-03T22:51:00.000-04:00No real answer to the discipline question, just a ...No real answer to the discipline question, just a shoulder to tantrum on :)<BR/>My saving grace was a Bible class without the kiddos because let's face it, church was a wash.Totallyscrappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13617099975079979822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22155253.post-55963355448014287662007-10-03T22:24:00.000-04:002007-10-03T22:24:00.000-04:00The church thing . . . two options pop into mind -...The church thing . . . two options pop into mind -- one, a little used room/bathroom where you can get one-on-one with the child (Hunter) and look him straight in the eye and apply whichever discipline is necessary. <BR/><BR/>Option two -- not as easy if the day is a hot one, but take him to your vehicle and administer the appropriate discipline/talking to and then return him to his class.<BR/><BR/>Have you ever tried Spot Shot for stains? I used to swear by it when we had a house full of carpet that wore spills of everything from grape juice to . . . you know (PeePoo).

Go outside where you and he can spend a few quiet minutes. That way, he can see that there are consequences to his bad behavior, even when he's in public. (P.S. My eldest is only 3 so I might not know anything at all. ;) )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22155253.post-85021983021460608392007-10-03T16:10:00.000-04:002007-10-03T16:10:00.000-04:00I got nothing, I just wanted to say "good luck".I got nothing, I just wanted to say "good luck".Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00625673916138703709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22155253.post-47043147130824257262007-10-03T15:41:00.000-04:002007-10-03T15:41:00.000-04:00boy I don't know about the toner--- I love the ma...boy I don't know about the toner--- I love the magic eraser but this my be beyond that!! <BR/><BR/>why don't you call a carpet manufacturer & ask them?<BR/><BR/>800-438-7668 is the number for stainmaster. good luck!!cmhlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10317855402018758135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22155253.post-13969239084362456692007-10-03T14:19:00.000-04:002007-10-03T14:19:00.000-04:00For the discipline issue - I would say directly to...For the discipline issue - I would say directly to the child (right away in front of the victim) - <BR/><BR/>" Now that wasn't very nice thing to do now was it?

I would suggest doing whatever it is you would do at home. Nothing confused our kids more than different discipline methods at different places. we learned the hard way. So, we just stuck to our gons.<BR/><BR/>Which meant that one day, inevitably, I whopped J on the diaper during full blown tantrum at the store. A few people glared at me, and I just smiled sweetly and glared right back.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, you gotta just do what's best for the munchkin.Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252445562196825930noreply@blogger.com
