You see them at their worst, but it doesn't mean you aren't doing a great job as their mom. <br />I wouldn't worry about their behavior in the store either, every mom has those outings, whether they admit to it or not :) Everything is cyclical, and this will die down a bit and be more bearable- or school will start!TheBossLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10867655952988798978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729482034147452316.post-14995985856925402342012-07-30T23:34:41.054-07:002012-07-30T23:34:41.054-07:00Amber, I will probably take you up on that!Amber, I will probably take you up on that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17363217917479999558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729482034147452316.post-2667639504959159432012-07-30T23:34:19.386-07:002012-07-30T23:34:19.386-07:00Thanks Brandy.

I am sorry I don't have any words of wisdom or advice on teaching children how to act right when they are simply out of control.

It is just a phase I'm sure. No way are you failing as a mom. You care because you are a good mom. The boys are testing you, its summer, a hard age with you having your youngest being mobile and into everything now I'm sure and still trying to maintain a household with the older two. I honestly don't know how you do it with three...I struggle with TWO! Hang in there...you will make it through this. And, I'm glad you found your ring. :) ((hugs))Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10857643535849987147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729482034147452316.post-34926377322764952492012-07-30T15:58:20.535-07:002012-07-30T15:58:20.535-07:00I found my ring!

Its really, really hard to see the forest for the trees when we're in the thick of it. Just keep in mind its the war, not the battles, that matters in the end. Gee, how many more metaphors could I cram in this comment? ;-) I very, very rarely take the kids to run errands by myself. Its just been much too stressful for me in the past so I avoid it as much as possible. And I usually resort to threats or bribes (naps and treats or toys) when I do have to take them. Pretty sure that's not included in any list of positive parenting strategies published anywhere. And the kids have also lost my wedding ring once...I found it in the silverware compartment of the dishwasher. After I had run it!Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953236039620218041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729482034147452316.post-48295861236576715412012-07-30T15:29:11.241-07:002012-07-30T15:29:11.241-07:00Thanks Therese!
