For me, it almost always involves busyness/distraction on my part. I fall into that without seeing it coming sometimes!Randihttp://ihavetosay.typepad.com/randi/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-38334375026067517202007-07-19T21:54:00.000-04:002007-07-19T21:54:00.000-04:00This is such an honest post. I think I'm in the same position you are. I keep saying, "Just turn off the TV and read something," but I'm bad about not really following through with it. My 16-year-old son is testing my authority, too. My husband and I are having serious ditch the dish talks, too.Mommy Dearesthttp://myhomesweethomeonline.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-53314029540133124232007-07-18T23:56:00.000-04:002007-07-18T23:56:00.000-04:00Marybeth,<BR/>I posted on this today!!

It helps so much to know that others have similar hills that feel like MOUNTAINS and to see how they work to climb them.Kimwww.homeschoolblogger.com/YellowRosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-54259810450119858402007-07-16T20:49:00.000-04:002007-07-16T20:49:00.000-04:00I've had moments just like this.

He's getting mean, for lack of a better word. He's got a smart mouth,and he's been hitting his little brother. Time for an attitude RE-adjustment...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your post - at least I know we're not alone!!Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08304258552185464265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-77869387239417617462007-07-16T08:14:00.000-04:002007-07-16T08:14:00.000-04:00Ooooh!

I think this happens to a lot of us from time to time. I know that I have a tendency to parent out of fear which is wrong. Thank you for the encouragement and reminder. I am glad your husband is on board and taking control it seems. that should be helpful.<BR/>by the way, your little one is precious. She is almost as old as my baby who will be 2 in October!!Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08247035131903329580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-72884276167417120352007-07-15T22:44:00.000-04:002007-07-15T22:44:00.000-04:00This is great MB! Larry and I have come to this point recently with the girls. It is great to read this and know I'm not the only one, thanks for your honesty-it encouraged me to get back on track. It was good to see in you in passing this morning. Talk to you soon!Kelly H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/11717703116945733511noreply@blogger.com
