We've been having lots of squabbles between the kids lately. They get so frustrated with each other and I'm baffled at the physical aggression that can come out of them at times. Some mornings I'm ready to call it a day by 8:30 a.m. I constantly ask them, "Have you ever seen dad and me yell at each other like that?" or "Do you ever see dad or me hit each other like that?" They always say, 'No!" But then Joe always reminds me, "Amy, you've never talked to me like that, but I remember how you and Emily were at each other's throats all through high school." Oh my! He is right, and I was old enough to know better.... how soon we forget. Sorry Em! I guess this is my payback!

I hear ya'! Some days are great, some days are not. I used to spend a lot of time figuring out , was it what they ate, how long they slept, a combination?
Nope, just kids being kids.
Larry has the most CALM and quiet family I have ever seen. At his parents' 50h anniversary they showed old home movies (silent)and it was hilarious. One of the brother walks up to another one and just slugs him. Down they go wrestling. Another time one sister is hamming it up for the camera and she gets blindsided by another one. Hilarious stuff!
(Of course, I am sure that you know that I don't think should just run wild without any corrections, I was just trying to ease your mind, that they are not headed for America's Most Wanted.)
oh yea, I hear ya!!! drives me nuts!!! I'm glad to hear you arn't perfect either! LOL!
So did you find out what the sex of the baby is???
okay, my kids are constantly driving me over the edge with sitting on each other and smacking each other with toys, what is up with the violence, i blame the media.
Oh geez. This is definitely our house. War one second, then buddies another second, then back to brawling. It's anyone's guess what the next minute, and I mean minute, will bring!
My kids never have squabbles. Just Kidding! I am having to get used to it all over again because Gavin is home all day and that leaves lots more time for a little screaming and pounding on each other.
