I have 2 DCBs, aged 2 1/2 & 3 1/2 (brothers) and a 2 year old DCG who are wonderful kids all day...but when their Mom's come to pick up the horns come out. The mom's try to visit a bit and honestly, I am just wishing they would all get the heck out! The 2 boys suddenly get into everything they shouldn't and whine and cry...the girl just throws a complete fit. Once they get upstairs (our playroom is in the basement, where I remain with the other kids until everyone is picked up) I can hear them stomping all over my kitchen and living room! Today, the 3 1/2 year old ran out ahead of his mother onto the road (not the first time at all...my husband, fortunately was just coming iphome and stopped him). Meanwhile, her 8 year old keeps picking my tulips (mom laughs it off)! As for the girl...mom has actually asked me to get her to do something (put her coat on) because she just won't listen to her. I am so frustrated...I feel like just saying to them "control your freakin' kids"!!
