[QUOTE="navineja, post: 95369, member: 4278"] Like most of us, I can relate too. My sister just thinks that I am too strict with the girls and they is why they are uncooperative and have tantrums. One of my best friends says that we are always "on them" about everything and if we would just let them do what they want, things would be fine! Within the first year of the twins being here, even husband said that he thought it was just the way that they responded to me and my discipline. So we came to the agreement that he would handle all discipline for the next week. It took about a day for him to do a 180 and recognize that it had nothing to do with who was doing the discipline, that it was any discipline or correction at all that set them off. We have gotten to the point where we just don't discuss these things with others, since no one understands anyway. And we try to handle problems at home as much as possible, even if it means leaving someone's home early or not getting to do something that we would do normally. Of course, the girls have come a long way, so we can do a lot more with others without them causing too much disruption. I am thankful that my mother is willing to back us up and even be the "bad guy" occasionally and babysit if one has lost a privilege and we want to go wherever anyway. Thoughts are with you. Hang in there. Naomi [/QUOTE]
