I am still so greatful for everyone's responses. I was saying to Jeannie

that it is probably not the lack of discipline as much as the consistency or

lack of consistency we may do when dealing with our kids. I know I am a good

mom and having a husband who gives 100% to the boys. The problem is that we

get so burnt out at times. We are physically and mentally tired that we

sometimes give into the behaviors we shouldn't.

We should all hold our heads up high (when we can) and be proud of what we

do each day with our children. We do not have it easy!!!!

Nicely said ,I only wish that all of the people that our children come in

contact with felt that way.Maybe they would think twice before criticizing our

children's behavior and our parenting

,

I know inconsistency has added to Bryce's behavior too. I' m a firm

believer in consistency with kids but sometimes I question Bryce''s ability to

comply and I don't want to hold him accountable for things beyond his control.

Hence the inconsistency at times. I agree. Hold your head up. We don't have

an easy job. I always tell people raising Bryce takes 5 times the energy of

raising my other child...and that's probably a gross understatement.

Deedee. Mom to Bryce, age 7
