Well, that was nice. My next step was going to be what is known by my children as the "mother sweep",,that was usually in the car when I yelled "Quit fighting" and swept my right arm back sweeping the back seat with blows to everything not crunched down. They say it was cruel and abusive. We usuallly drove in peace after that. They grew up to be nice girls too!1 I highly recommend it along with the "Mother sit" which I will tell you about tomorrow.

I think the mother sweep is something genetically ingrained in women, it lies dormant until our offspring reach the age of 2, then it becomes a natural response to loud noises/and or sibling to sibling violence.

Who said violence never solves anything?
