lol,

Well, no TV always flew just fine for me, I rarely ever watch any.

She has always been that way. I was always the disciplinarian. But then she'd not uphold the discipline laid out and that just muddled things up quite often.

I have very seldomly interveined with discipline problems on "her time" during all this. Last night was especially the first in 'her house'. I did let her deal with it for quite a bit unitl I could no longer take the level of disrespect and the fact there was physical violence from S12 on S11 and S11 was seemingly coming very close to calling his mother the 'b' word.

My intervention was short and sweet, reminding them to use more of their ears and less of their mouth, and this is their mother addressing them.

I am not going to go full tilt take control of the situation. That phases into the whole 'adjustment period' for them as (x)W and I work to reconcille and put our family back together.

I also like the fact that I don't have to get all riled up and loud when they are with me, and that will continue through and beyond the transition and creation of a new R together for all of us. I didn't like the father I was before, and I don't ever want to be that person again.

I will suggest to (x)W that she be a bit less violent in her tone with them and surely to use language more suitable for children of their ages. I have never cared for how she speaks when she gets upset. I swear, at times when she's really goin' and spewing out her displeasure, truckers stop at the nearest church and rinse their ears with holy water.
