Anyway, I also have a 10 year old boy and an 8 year old boy. And let me tell you, it doesn't get any easier! Just what you wanted to hear, right? And there are some days that I wish I could go back to just being me, and not Mommy. But then, Sarah will say "I lub you mommy" or the boys will come and sit on my lap and give me a big hug, and I remember WHY I don't want to go back to those days. People that don't have kids just don't get it. Yeah, it's a lot of work, but it's worth every little hug, smile, and kiss that we get paid.<br /><br />I think you're doing a great job. What a cutie patootie she is. You definitely have your hands full!<br /><br />MichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928620456241718383.post-35062780834125766942010-01-14T16:47:52.520-07:002010-01-14T16:47:52.520-07:00This breaks ABSOLUTELY EVERY parenting book out th...This breaks ABSOLUTELY EVERY parenting book out there.....but I bit mine back. He did it once and only once. The other two never bit. <br /><br />I agree with BCD, you need to start taking things away from her or putting her in her room when she pees her pants with you. There needs to be some sort of repercussion, because the fact that she does it only with you, is totally about her trying to be the boss....and lordy you can't let her be the boss!!!<br /><br />Just my two cents....Dual Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13219625667306878645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928620456241718383.post-41565536152869806542010-01-14T16:07:56.320-07:002010-01-14T16:07:56.320-07:00Some day when you're an old lady and she's...Some day when you're an old lady and she's taking care of you, I say you pee on her right back. :P <br /><br />She's adorable - I'm sure that makes all the devilish behavior a lot easier to deal with!Melissa Marishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15216312159880277204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928620456241718383.post-22893663622447031452010-01-14T15:42:15.997-07:002010-01-14T15:42:15.997-07:00So sweet...all of it!!!So sweet...all of it!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928620456241718383.post-68323201644835674902010-01-14T15:39:11.240-07:002010-01-14T15:39:11.240-07:00BCD- What kind of firmer did you do about the pot...BCD- What kind of firmer did you do about the potty stuff.

Set firm boundaries with her(while remaining calm and not yelling) and be consistant. She'll get it. As far as the peeing and pooing thing only with you, Miss M was great with her teacher and her Mom but ALWAYS did her business in her panties with me because she knew Daddy was more lenient with her. Once I got a little firmer, without getting mad, it stopped. :)Big City Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026342162175331927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928620456241718383.post-44179055401584206332010-01-14T14:51:04.859-07:002010-01-14T14:51:04.859-07:00Aw!
