I wish I could say I had completely stuck to the discipline rules. But David was waaaaaay too hard on Mark imo. Everytime Marlise screeched he would yell, Mark what are you doing?" That used to make my hackles stand up. Girls can be quite sneaky when they want.

You girls are all sneaky!

Hey, sorry shortstuff...gotta go grill, take a sail, and watch a sunset.

Sis, I KNOW you know what they're talking about.

Oh I know what you mean. I was a stay at home Mom.. so he always gave the harshest discipline for what he saw, he never gave it for what I lived thru. That got contentious at times..and used to p!ss me off, but.. we're still together, and they still have a place to hang out.

Sometimes too often and sometimes not often enough.. ;) There is no happy medium for anything I guess.

My one brother was like that .. his daughter would screech all the time about her brother .. what my brother never bother to realize was that at the time she was doing this screeching .. she was pulling her brother's hair and hitting him while screaming that he was picking on her

This happened once when my mother was in the car with them and after my brother was yelling at his son to leave his sister alone.

Mom chimed in and said .. You're yelling at the wrong kid. I don't think my brother was to thrilled at that, but my nephew was, finally someone noticed and told the truth of what was really going on

I never forget that story and I wait to see which one of my kids is really causing the problems and then yell at them

As for Mike, a few times he has made comments to me .. I usually TRY to bite my tongue, step back and let him learn the hard way of what I am talking about.
