Thanks, Mimi. You are correct. I can't let 7 and 9 year olds get to me. They are probably just as confused as I am, and they are dealing with it in the way they know how. I am hoping that H will tone down the cool Dad routine as time goes on - it's really not his nature to act like this. Usually he's the one who thinks I am not strict enough. (Isn't there an eye roll emoticon)?)
I have to remember what I am doing, and remember to keep my PMA and not let my actions be ruled by my emotions. And, not let my emotions or actions be ruled by H or my kids!!
Wish me luck, I will need it!!!
