I grew up with a mom that yelled and screamed and it made me want to be different because I did not like it. That being said, I am not, or will never ever judge a parents form of getting their kids attention. As long as they are safe, which your boys are. I do use a wooden spoon on the end of a frying pan. The rule is "once you hear that ringing they come and line up." This way I am not yelling through the house to assemble the troops. If they do not come, then there is a consequence. Once they are lined, up which happens quickly I can quietly assert my mominess. They love it, they tell their friends about it. Plus they have seen Sound of Music and feel honored that I use a pot and a spoon.elizabeth embracing lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876091343873784997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838808643713214278.post-317879590872310972011-11-23T16:45:53.846-08:002011-11-23T16:45:53.846-08:00Don't know that I have any advice to give, but...Don't know that I have any advice to give, but I am here with you. It is a struggle to keep my voice calm, and I feel as if I am definitely in the trap where my kids dn't do what I ask until I raise my voice. Seem days, anyway.

I'm caught in a bad cycle. SO I'll pray for us both and the other moms too.Joyful Mud Puddleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437319240348200047noreply@blogger.com
