[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 403439, member: 1514"] They will come and go and all kids are unique. We had 3 kids and had to handle them all in slightly different ways. Billy, you could basically tell him what was expected and he would obey. He didnt want to get into trouble. Sometimes he didnt quite understand what you were actually expecting out of him but he never deliberately misbehaving. I think he was spanked maybe 4 or 5 times in his entire life and never after his 4th birthday. Jamie was harder. Tony refuses to remember any of this but Jamie was a handful. He was on the go from the time he woke up until he fell asleep. You couldnt take your eyes off him. He was so impulsive he did things without thinking. I had to basically corral him and keep his environment safe for him. He would try to be good but he often didnt have the impulse control to do so. This was all pre-medication. When Cory came along he was pretty easy until he hit toddlerhood and then all heck broke loose when we had the two whirling dervishes. They fed off each other and it was a mad house. I never went anywhere without a switch in the car and those two on leashes. They would run in two different directions from me. I remember well trying to move from Myrtle Beach to Greensboro by myself with them in the car. I had them strapped in car seats but they would bicker and fight and I would lean over the seat and swat them. Benedryl was my best friend that trip...lol. [/QUOTE]
