I often wish I wasn't such a grouch with my family...I hate being that way, but I guess being the oldest sister I can't help it sometimes. Sigh...but it does make me wonder how I'd handle my own kids if'n I ever had any. Patience is a virtue, but not my strong suit.
The difference is that YOU'D have control over them, and if they smarted off you could punish them! Can't really do that do your brother, so it's frustrating!
