[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 523905, member: 3907"] This has been such an interesting thread. I use hand and finger signals, and the low quiet voice as well, and it works a treat with all of the children, strangers' children, husband, etc. Since I fidget, and usually have a smile on my face, the thing that seems to unnerve people is when I'm still and my facial expression is serious. husband tends to shout from across the room or from another room, and the children ignore him. Or they stop what they're doing, and resume after a minute or two. I tend to go to where the trouble is. My footsteps, loud to begin with, get more firm -- usually the bad behaviour has stopped before I even walk in the door, unless they're being so raucous that they can't hear me coming. I LOVE the name MOMinator. My husband calls me "The War Department", as in "I'm not sure if I can make it to Guys' Night Out. Have to check with The War Department". I rather like it. [/QUOTE]
