Dylan is a cute kid, but he could really be a nightmare if I'd let him.
I am not a super-mom. I make mistakes, and plenty of them. But there is one thing that I always do right, no matter what. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. From day one with my children I have tried my hardest to be consistent in both praise and punishment. And I have never backed down from a punishment I have threatened, even when it ends up making things harder for me.
My son is fond of testing his boundaries. He likes to push his limits to find out just what he can get away with. And I won't let him get away with anything. Because if I let him, he would be completely out of control.
I guess what I'm saying is, I may not be the best mother in the world, but I am the best mother in the world for HIM.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Edith will be the same way, though she is still a bit more biddable than he is. Wow, things are NOT going to be fun at my house in about 10 years.
