My mom used to do the same thing, when she was ready to go, she was ready to go, she did not wait on us. And we knew better than to even look like we were thinking about taking our time. Girl, those were the days... LOL @ your disclaimer. My mom used to do the same thing, when she was ready to go, she was ready to go, she did not wait on us.

I NEVER (knock on wood) had to deal with anything like that. My kids are now 10 and 14, and the biggest thing I have to deal with is getting them to leave the store (more specifically the video game department or Best Buy) when I say it's time. I quickly learned the easiest way to solve this one, though: "I'm leaving now and if you don't come on I will leave you here." They never let me get more than five steps away and before you see a mini-stampede of two lanky brown children running to catch up with their mother and one saying, "C'mon you know mom will leave us!" (Disclaimer: I have never, nor will I ever leave my adolescent children stranded anywhere. Please just don't tell them that) I must be blessed!

Like I said in my post, my kids are far from perfect but we taught them early what is and isn't acceptable behavior so there are lines they will not cross. We still have to deal with things like not doing homework and dating (shiver) so there's still a long road ahead of us... Thank you, Lisa.

Trust me, kids know how far they can push you and they will keep going until they hit your limit. We had to be tough with ours because we had 4 under the age of 5 and I simply couldn't have them running me crazy. Thank you for the award. I'm totally blushing.

We are going through so much of this right now with The Rowan. He is 3 and a half, and is apparently submitting his Oscar reel with the drama. It sounds like it's worked for you, and I want both of mine to be well-behaved teens... so I'm going to do everything you say to do! BTW I'm giving you a Stylish Blogger Award. You *so* are! Sarah http://uberlibrariana.blogspot.com/2011/03/stylish-blogger-award.html Oh girl.

With a 2-year old in the house, I admit... it can be rough at times. He's often great, but certainly isn't perfect. It's not like he's out of control... for the most part, everybody thinks he's an angel! But, as a parent, I think I could be doing a better job setting boundaries. Your post on the topic was a refreshing view on teh topic. :) Excellent post! With a 2-year old in the house, I admit… it can be rough at times. He’s often great, but certainly isn’t perfect.
