[quote=Anonymous]Something that helps me a lot is listening to music the entire time we go through the routine. It helps drown down the whininess somewhat and then it's also fun. The kids sing along to the songs ("Disney hits" is a favorite with my toddlers). Then I also can focus on the music. It just takes the edge off. Gummy vitamins are also a huge hit with my toddlers. One night a week when it's been a super stressful day, I get subs on the way home (Harris Teeter's are amazing!). I plop the kids in the wagon, hand them a sub and a water and then we walk to the playground. No whining over dinner, no making mess at home and they are thrilled. Walking also helps me get my own tension out. We come home and they're exhausted and we just bathe, read and go to bed. [/quote]
