sometimes i feel more like a referee than a mom. do you ever feel like that? the weather is terrible so we are indoors more which makes us in each others business more often which causes more fighting/arguments. i swear i have to referee at least a good 6-8 fights/arguments a day between my 5 and 3 year old. they fight over pretty much everything from who gets to pick what show to watch to getting mad because one won't do what the other wants them to.
i think i should get one of those whistles referees use and when the kids get going just go and blow right in there faces and then send them to their time out corners. that sounds like fun.
lately when my kids are arguing i think about a friend and how her dad use to deal with fighting in their house. she says that he would get so fed up with them that he would make all the kids who were fighting go outside and lock them out of the house. they weren't allowed to come back in until they resolved things. she said that sometimes it would be for a few hours. i will admit that i think i might use that tactic when it isn't so cold outside but i am pretty sure that it won't hours for my kids to make up (well maybe when they get older it might).
don't get me wrong i love my kids but the fighting gets a little annoying
ooh gotta go break up a fight right now.........
