OH THANK GOD FOR THAT!!! Thanks for the reassurance ladies

My mind has been put at ease. I do realise that kids push the boundaries constantly & will get away with what they are let. The youngest one is told not to do something silly or dangerous, looks you straight in the eye & smiles...& does it anyway. OMG my hand itched soooo bad.

But I just worried perhaps I was over reacting, I tend to stress about basic things although Im heaps better than I was. I would've had my hide tanned if I did some of the things her kids do, but my mum was so particular about things I'm sure she spent most of her time and energy stressing over insignificant things, it wasnt fun. I know its early on yet but its definately something I dont want to do to my kids.

And my friend always seems so completley relaxed even with her kids creating absolute chaos, so I was thinking......ok maybe she has the right idea....... stress less. But I think the chaos would drive me crazy!!
Misty Im a bit like you-my house, my rules, so that didn't go down well when they were here.
