I am SO tired tonight. I clearly did too much today! I started the morning as I always do by doing dishes. No biggie. But then I cleaned the front of the stove. Then I made a banana cake. Next I made a chocolate layer cake. (remember tomorrow is granddaughter's 9th birthday party). By the time I got done making icing and icing both cakes it was 2:30 p.m. I am dragging so bad tonight. My back hurts and I can barely walk. I know there isn't anything any of you can do but I wanted someone to complain to!hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Jackie and Kate,When my husband and I were married, we lived with my in-laws until essentially, our second anniversary (Devin was unplanned - a pill baby - we were both in college, and we were in no way we were financially able to live on our own.  We would have stayed with my parents - would have gotten more room - but at the time, my sister was living in my parent's basement until a few months after we were married).  I have to say, though, parenting Devin was a freaking breeze - so we weren't prepared for .  Devin, no matter what his age was, was easily able to be redirected, and you hardly had to tell him no, until got old enough that they got in trouble together.  was born the December after we moved out of hubby's parents house - I figured out I was pregnant about 4 days before the move out (which was shortly after my grandmother passed, leaving me the money that allowed us to move).  always had difficulties with boundaries from the time he was a toddler.  It took a while to get that under control.  Honestly, I feel part of that was because my in laws babysat the boys while I worked, and they were inclined to spoil them, although both boys were later diagnosed with ADHD. 

was diagnosed with ADHD in kindergarten, although we were sure it started in pre-school at least - he had 0 frustration tolerance, and was known for nasty temper tantrums.  So Kate, I understand a bit when it comes to what you are going through.  It took about a year or two for 's medication to actually help him, and for him to develop that much needed frustration tolerance.  We used to wake him up about 20 minutes before actual wake up time to give him his meds, and let him go back to sleep, in order to avoid dreadful scenes in the morning.

Jackie, I agree, your daughter, if she couldn't/wouldn't control her child, shouldn't have stayed so long.  I was a bit different as a young mother - I wouldn't stay over at relatives for such a long time - including my mother's and my in-laws - because invariably, being there so long would strain the boys' behavior, and getting tired, they would get nasty grumpy, lol.  Even if they weren't spending the night, if they intended to stay that late, they probably should have put Christian down, and then when they left, they could have just bundled him up out of bed - at least that's what I would have done.

You shouldn't have felt guilty about asking them to leave.  It was a strain on you, and unless they are from out of town and staying with you, there was really no reason for them to have been there that late.  Just IMHO.

Hi Sharon and Jackie,Speaking as a parent of 5 'wild' children myself--well, 2 or 3 of them were more

wild than the others--I really never set boundaries with my kids, and I am paying theprice big time. I just NOW am doing it, and it really tries me and my patience,

but I know it will pay off in the long-run. Consistency is key I'm learning.Your daughter *should* have truly taken this situation and used it as a

modelfor what she should be doing. There was no reason, it seems, why she and/or her spouse couldn't have taken things into their own hands. You should never have to step in and take care of him to that extent. I hope the situation can turn itself around. The sooner the better--take it from me.

love you,Kate

I sure can relate to that. Not that I did too much physically, but Doodles was here for over 9 hrs, going strong, and not letting up. Tina and her husband let him run wild, and he gets into everything, so there is constant “no Christian, put that back” at least a hundred times during their visit. I love the little guy and he gives the most wonderful hugs and kisses, but that wild child needs some boundaries. I was waiting for my daughter to ask if she could put him to bed as we have a toddler bed for him, and then they could have stayed the night, but 11 pm rolled around and like I said he was going strong. So I sent them home. I felt really guilty afterwards and ticked because any other time I would have stepped in and scooped him up, bathed him, put his jammies on, read him a story and put him to bed. I just don’t have the body

strength or mental stamina to do any of that. L So Sharon I applaud you for doing all you did, but I am sorry it took a toll on you too. Happy Birthday to your granddaughters 9th birthday. My Skylar she turned 10 last week on the 16th.  J
