wow look at all these reponses.

thanks so much guys.
thanks BB i'll have a look at that book.

i went to a seminar about raising boys
Steve Biddulph. the book is called "raising boys"
it was very interesting.

he said a teenage boy will fight with a stop sign !!!!!!

we got reports from school today and it said DS1 was quiet and always polite and helpfull ??????????????????
what !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i must have got the wrong report????????????????

the argueing continues
although he is eating his lunch more, we discobered he liked spreadable tuna and so thats what i've been getting most of the time.

have tried more bargaining rather than demanding, it's a little easier

i am giving rewards for good behaviour and all th boys are saving up for a big reward atm so this is helping a little.

two steps forward then one back, slow progress.

keep up the good work mums and dads and hopefully our kids will turn out o.k

chat soon
