So... Have anyone else's kids been F****** terrible lately?!? Pardon my implied language.

I don't know if it's the weather or they're all hitting their respective phases all at once, but I'm going to lose it soon if it doesn't get better.

My 4 year old and 3.5 year old dcb have decided that they want to argue with each other and the other kids, as well as myself over EVERYTHING. 2.5 yo dcg has thrown three 10-15 minute tantrums in the 3 hours she been here, and her refusing to listen resulted in us missing outside time today. Which I really didn't want to do but she's one kid who needs consequences reinforced always. My 2 year old has decided not to share anything, and his listening isn't awesome on a good day but he seems worse this last week. The poor 13 month old dcg is just along for the ride at this point.

I don't want to be a drill Sargent, but honestly, I'm close to just giving them time outs for any and every behaviour. Christmas break can not come soon enough!
