Oh yeah.. I've had problems with this.. The 5 year old dosent listen to mom at all, when shed here he won't pick up the toys put shoes or jackets on, I've even had it where I took them all to the park and the 5 yr old refused to walk home. I had to call mom and dad to pick him up... We haven't gone back to the park in the afternoon since, I've had quite a lot of issues with this one since he started, only a month ago. And now his three yr old brother is picking up on his bad behavior and I am afraid if I keep them my 22 month old son will start picking up on these habits too, so now I'm in the process of figuring out how to let the parents know I can't watch their boys any more, just have to figure out the best way to do it ... But back to this post, I was getting them ready before mom got there because if she was there before they were ready they wouldn't listen to me or her, it's so sad.
