[QUOTE="navineja, post: 140153, member: 4278"] Mamamia, been there done that, Still Am There, Doing That right now with my 6 yr old twins. You sound like you are dealing with him very well, but I do understand the frustrations of having to deal with those who have NO idea of what our kids are like at home. I have finally gotten to the point where I pretty much don't talk about their behaviors/consequences with anyone other than husband and occasionally my mother. I also try to make sure that any discipline or even "reminders" are handled away from others, so that we avoid the looks or remarks regarding "such good girls". Then if all else fails and someone insists on telling me that I am being so mean or too hard, I direct them to the websites describing the twins' problems and also show them my scars from being scratched or bit. Then I tell them that I am nipping possible behavior problems in the bud for the benefit of both of us. It is difficult to feel alone and that no one in your circle understands what you are dealing with. Glad that you found this board. It has been wonderful for me and many a night I have found comfort in reading the posts and knowing that I am NOT alone. Hope it does the same for you. [/QUOTE]
