So it's yet again been crazy with work and the kids. "N" is now enrolled in Preschool and starts next month which is cool. Today is my first day off in eight days which is even better.

We are having a hard time with the kids and respecting us and each other. It's funny because when we had just "N" he was always very sweet and nice and listened a lot of the times. Now that we have "O" it's just gone down hill.

All "O" does is scream, hit "N", take his toys and is jut a real big jerk. "N" then reciprocates it and does it twice as bad. What really upsets me is that a few weeks ago "The Hubby" helped "N" reorganize his room and it took them about 2 hours to do it. An hour and a half later "N" trashed it.

I know that I haven't been the greatest mom lately and it's no excuse for his attitude but I have no idea what to do. I have taken his toys away, didn't work, time outs-don't work. I have no idea what to do. And with everyday "O" is getting out of hand too.

I have been taking the kids out a lot during the day so "The Hubby" can work. We've been going to Jump 'n Play and Pump it Up almost every day. They like going and stuff but then they get nasty after we get home. So I have now told them that unless they keep their rooms clean and are nice to everyone in the house, then we can start going back there and having fun again.

If you have any tips for me or any other mom that is feeling the same way I do, please leave a comment in the comment field so we can just try anything to raise better happier children.
