I popped over here to read your blog and find a reflection of myself quite a few years ago. I actually traveled to Ireland about 20+ years ago, but stayed near Belfast. Beautiful country! Anyway, I just want to encourage you in your battle of wills. YOU are the mom, and your little people need to know that - YOU are the boss, no matter how they behave, so don't take any of this personal ;o) It took me a long time to realize that, and to learn that the BEST thing I can do for my children is to be strong and not let them think that they are ever in charge! i know you get exhausted, and just want to run away . . . . and sometimes we all need to walk away before we completely collapse . . . but if you set those boundaries in stone at an early age, it might help when they get to those teen years! Looking forward to getting to know you, NinaVintage Whimsy Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001220853355324444noreply@blogger.com
