[QUOTE="mandcc96, post: 147154, member: 5075"] Hi Dazed, I'm new here but I live a little of your life everyday too (minus the real world job part...I'm stay at home mom right now). I thought I was the only one who felt like ripping my hair out every time my two were going at it. And I remember only too well the embarrassment I felt watching my middle daughter chase my in-laws car up the street crying and screaming hysterically (while all of my neighbors watched ... pardon me while I crawl under a rock!) cuz she wanted to go with them.
