And there's pretty much no good...GOOD question. And there's pretty much no good answer. But you should just know you're not alone. Last week i texted Chase a picture of the towel bar that Miles had ripped out of the wall (spiderman swinging on it, of course). I said something to the effect of, "That kid is lucky I'm not a spanker. I'll keep working on the yelling."<br />And I've informed my children LOADS of times that, "If you don't like to hear mommy yell, you have to RESPOND to the first 20 times I ask you in my nice voice."<br />There's just only so much a mom can do, seriously.<br />Also too?

There are moments my kids are exactly alike, then there are days I wonder if they're even related they are so different. Kids are just one of those mysteries of the world that can't be defined.Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747278725855540475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090358.post-10891823248825934032010-05-22T19:42:06.108-05:002010-05-22T19:42:06.108-05:00Despite your frustration, Christy, I found this po...Despite your frustration, Christy, I found this post VERY cathartic, because I'm thankful I'm not the only mom out there just shaking my head. If I were a cartoon illustration, there would be a GIANT question mark in the speech bubble over my head most of the time. I'm soooo right there with ya, on the "what is normal" question.

But I think they are both normal in their own way, and they are definitely both happy, wonderful boys. If you do ever figure out what normal is, let me know! I wouldn't recognize it either. :^)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05736413230928796478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090358.post-73992225127982736102010-05-21T17:33:26.636-05:002010-05-21T17:33:26.636-05:00Um, Ty not only looks like a little Scott mini-me,...Um, Ty not only looks like a little Scott mini-me, but he apparently acts like a little Scott. I remember Scott being that exact same way, and look how he turned out once he got hooked up with some structure. It sure took a while, though, didn't it? Ty will get there, too. And Scott doesn't seem at all damaged from Mom yelling at him. He probably doesn't even remember half the things I do about him getting in HUMONGOUS amounts of trouble as a youngster due to his devil-may-care, happy-go-lucky, laid-way-back ways. If he doesn't remember getting in trouble as a teenager, though, then it was the beer. :)<br /><br />Moms yell. That is what is normal. The end.<br /><br />Love you!Chrystapoohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792837557351420051noreply@blogger.com
