[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to supervise the younger one more. This is what I've always had to do. Now they're 9 and 14 and I still have to police the youngest. She wakes up early and wants to play with the teenager, who wants to sleep in and lounge around. Younger DD is now not allowed in teen's room in the morning.

I do supervise her really well. The problem is that she is relentless in going after what she wants so my only choice is to remove her from the room sometimes, which then upsets my older one because she doesn’t want me to leave her. [b]So it feels like I can’t win.[/b][/quote]

You are winning, by teaching your kids that they can't have everything! The little one can't get into everything she wants, and the older one can't have the luxury of your attention all the time. Enforce, and don't feel the least bit guilty! I certainly didn't. My kids are not owed every possible thing they wish for. They are owed food and shelter, and a good education.
