But, Mrs. C...you make it all sound so entertaining! LOL at the trade secrets. <br /><br />On a more serious note, I really admire that you sing and discuss instead of screaming.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07773816461928672279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-70556874754149432002010-03-31T12:44:05.608-05:002010-03-31T12:44:05.608-05:00Nikki, I've got to admit a bit of surprise, re...Nikki, I've got to admit a bit of surprise, reading that. You'd think 10 and 4 is a bigggg age difference and that that would mean they'd get along. Hm. Elf and Emperor are 13 months apart.<br /><br />Bonnie, sounds like you need to add "taking something fun away" to your parenting repetoire, though doggone it, I'd be tempted not to. Bubba sounds too cute for words.<br /><br />Ganeida, Patrick used to SIT ON G because he liked it. I was always afraid he'd get a rib broken, but the screaming when Patrick wasn't sitting on him was awful! I still wonder what was up with that.<br /><br />Dad, you never did correct the severe injustices of our world. We all know that *I* was the good kid. :)<br /><br />Luke, I shared that map with some little boys, but Elf is convinced that it is Mordor, just relabelled. :P<br /><br />Mama K, I'm going to proudly state that as crappy a parent as I can be, I have never been on a beating rampage! Go meeeee! (We can always pass if we set the standards reallllly low.)Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-91823288505827802322010-03-31T08:42:00.181-05:002010-03-31T08:42:00.181-05:00The girls play well together overall. But sometime...The girls play well together overall. But sometimes, and it's always little things, they just lose it.<br /><br />...or perhaps it's me who loses it.<br /><br />In either case, we'll tell one that she has to wait until the other is done with whatever toy/item/object is in question. Then, once the first child relinquishes the thing to the other, we find almost immediately the first child now demands, "You need to share."<br /><br />[cough] "Umm, no, child. She waited patiently for you, now you wait patiently for her."<br /><br />[cue pout]<br /><br />[child is now in timeout]<br /><br />[sigh]<br /><br />Life with children.<br /><br />Oh, and by the by, here's <a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/File:WorldMap-Hinterlands.jpg" rel="nofollow">the map you requested</a>.

I don't know where they get it. The worst part (and the cutest) is that he LOVES to sit on the naughty chair. He giggles the whole time he is sitting there, can't wait to say "I'm sodry" and get his hug. How can I discipline a child who likes the discipline? Your boys sound amazingly smart and pretty normal in how they deal with each other. If all you did was sing at them, clap, and discuss then you are a better woman than me. God bless ya! If I were you I would feel insulted and be thankful. ;-)Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127938634078723674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-54041519866542463392010-03-31T01:59:15.601-05:002010-03-31T01:59:15.601-05:00This is such a familiar situation here too !!!!
