Double the “fits”? Oh boy! I’m sure your little sister and your son both fed off each other. I can’t even imagine what I’d do if 2 children were throwing a fit at once. Lord, help me. lol

You’ve got a point, Crissy! You can pretty much wrangle a toddler in, but when it comes to teens there’s not much you can do. Unless of course if you’re willing to fork over some moolah in order to distract them with pricey electronics like cell phones and iPods. Maybe they make toddler leashes for teens? Sounds like an untapped market. ;)

I can only imagine. My 2 are only 2 years apart and there are days I think I might lose my mind. Like right now for instance. lol. Sorry, no advice.

Love the yogurt covered picture. I have been there many time with my son (2yrs). While I don’t have teens my sister is 9 yrs younger then me so when my son was born she was a youngin & seeing her “fits” and my sons was comical

Wow! I could probably learn a thing or two from you! 20 to 3-1/2 years old? I imagine your days are filled with a lot of laughter and possibly a poop-covered hand or two. ;)
