You ...Oh, I can so relate, but I only have one kid. You have my respect. Today my little girl was the worst one at the park, stealing all the kids toys and pushing them out of the way to get to the toys. We had to leave abrubtly when she pushed her friend off her scooter and they both went tumbling and crying. We went home and both took naps....It was rough. Hope you have a better day tomorrow!flip flop mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770484678729883256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37312462.post-25891939393015871502007-03-06T01:25:00.000-08:002007-03-06T01:25:00.000-08:00I'm sorry it didn't go better.

They are disciplined and such on the scene, but we don't end it there.<BR/><BR/>They've slowly learned that if they make those choices, they won't just get hushed up on the scene, but will have to pay the piper at home later. Seems to have helped us!Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796718258913715805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37312462.post-7201664379606378962007-03-05T17:27:00.000-08:002007-03-05T17:27:00.000-08:00Oh no!! Hopefully your hosts understood it!! I a...Oh no!! Hopefully your hosts understood it!! I am sure we all have those days when our kids don't act like the ones we've been raising. Set the boundaries in the beginning. Help the kids to know what they can and cannot do when you are visiting. Then, have signal that only YOUR family understands for settling down and focusing or listening. This way, you can hopefully stop this stuff before it escalates. <BR/><BR/>Hang in there. You're normal...they ARE kids and there's HOPE!! <BR/><BR/>:-) SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13734191407051735127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37312462.post-73127677681264754022007-03-05T16:23:00.000-08:002007-03-05T16:23:00.000-08:00Amber - I do have to agree with you... if the pare...Amber - I do have to agree with you... if the parents are sitting back with the "kids will be kids" as their demonic child lights things on fire, then that is irritating! Hopefully I will be able to look these parents in the face when we go back to church on Sunday... <BR/><BR/>Tanyetta - I know they were talking about us! "Did you see those kids? WOW... they have some MAJOR discipline problems in that home... " lol :) Naw, they were all parents themselves. They probably sighed and said, "Been there, done that" ;)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908930035466483151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37312462.post-53574232680429800952007-03-05T15:32:00.000-08:002007-03-05T15:32:00.000-08:00Amber,I just read your comment.
