Thanks all!!
I was feeling pretty frustrated yesterday. I am glad to know that it isn't out in left field to ask the kids to maintain some kind of decorum while in my home. LoL
I thought a little further about it this morning. I think my underlying issue here is that the bunch I started with 2-3 years ago are all older now, almost school age. And admittedly; I don't like doing school age care. I have far less patience for the behaviours that come with 4-5 year olds than I do the babies. *sigh* But that is a thread for another day, I guess.
