As far as advice I have very little, but treat him the way you would have always treated him. My kids are strict with tons of fun and craziness, I love the balance. As long as they help and do chores and homework and are nice to others then they can have lots of fun? Also remember it will all pass some days kids are the greatest and some days they are lil stinkers and that's why we love them!Summer also knows as the krazy cake ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698271826454776113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1570312501691928673.post-26119267968185272472011-10-04T14:42:07.871-06:002011-10-04T14:42:07.871-06:00My wife has expressed similar frustrations.

If I'm home and I hear it, I usually intervene and have a serious, brief, slightly aggressive discussion about respect for parents, followed up by another brief lecture about respecting women in general.<br /><br />Then I flick them in the forehead. <br /><br /> It hurts more than you think.Cameron's Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06257182572978938496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1570312501691928673.post-7017459075122407312011-10-03T10:58:12.755-06:002011-10-03T10:58:12.755-06:00True...Andrea.

Awesome friend making skills. <br /><br />"Stop your talking woman!" -- Directed at me usually.<br /><br />"If you feed me (in the tube), I will kick you in the face!" <br /><br />Owen's therapists always say to tell him "Owen.. that's not nice.. those words are hurtful." <br /><br />That's not working out too well.<br /><br />I like to either ignore him, try not to laugh, and then continue on with what I was doing. I have my tricks. I can always threaten to throw the "Paci" away.. that is a good one! Or.. I'm going to clip your toenails.. he hates that and says "I sorry mama.. please don't groom me!" <br /><br />Good Luck. He could be a girl.
