    Interrupting/attention hog

    We have 7 year old and 3 year old sons. My 7 year old has always just been awful when he is not the center of attention and now his brother is learning his tricks. We are firm, loving, consistent parents who give so much (time, energy, love) to our children...so often to the detriment of our relationship (we are both so exhausted once they go to bed). I have no idea when the last time I have had an uninterrupted conversation (phone or in person) with anyone; let alone my husband (while the kids are awake, that is). Today, I was that parent hiding in the closet trying to have a conversation with my financial planner...and I'll be darned if a screaming match between the two brothers didn't occur right outside the closet door (2 floors up from where I left them happily playing!). I just don't get it? Forget about if anyone comes to visit...I have never seen such demon children. Advice?

    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.
