[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 620564, member: 1514"] Thats what I have been telling both Jamie and Cory for years. If you dont deal with them when they are little you will never be able to deal with them when they are teens. Uhmm, I may have heard that my entire life...lol. My mom used to tell my father "if you cant control her at 6 how do you expect to control her at 16?" Problem was in my case, my mom didnt want my dad to parent until such a time that she wanted him to beat me. Talk about confusing! Cory really isnt used to parenting constantly like he has to now. When Monkey was a baby either both parents were there or we constantly were. Plus she was an exceptionally easy child. She wants nothing more than to do the right thing. I will never have to worry about her leaving the yard without permission because it just isnt in her. The new place we got is right at a park. In fact, this house is the last house on the road at the entrance to the park. From my front yard all she has to do take a left and she is in the park. We took her electric scooter over to the house last weekend and we told her she could ride it from our front yard over into the parking lot. She sat at the edge of my yard for a good 5 minutes looking both ways to make sure no cars were coming. Then she would just ride down far enough that she could still see me. At her age my boys would have been gone. The baby is more like her parents. Definitely not an easy child. You have to stay on her like white on rice. I had to do that with my boys. I could never turn my back and I knew if things were quiet then something was wrong. [/QUOTE]
