[QUOTE="Roxona, post: 687728, member: 19076"] They both have always had their own room, and we have tried to promote quiet reading or dad reading to one or both of them. They fight when dad is reading to them at the same time. I've tried reading to SS10 while dad is reading to SS6, but SS10 gets mad when dad doesn't read to him instead, and vice versa. Both boys fight over their dad's attention, and since I'm just stepmom, I don't matter. It really doesn't bother me that they would rather be with their dad than me, so for a while now, I've just stayed downstairs and out of the chaos as much as possible. They both have iPads and can play music, but SS10 would stay up past midnight singing, messing with the iPad, and wouldn't get enough sleep. It became an increasing problem for SS10, so we had to take them away from both to make it fair. No, we haven't been recording. It's a good idea, and I'm not opposed to it, but I completely forget to do it. I'm not sure how his dad would feel about it or even if he would agree. I need to remember to talk to him about it.
