[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don’t have many rules - put shoes and clothes on before you go outside (or else they’d be out in their pajamas and underwear), only eating/drinking at the table,[b] no[/b] roughhousing or[b] toys on the main level of the house [/b](they have a playroom in the basement and a huge bedroom with a ton of toys in both), and wear your helmet and close toed shoes when you’re riding your bike or scooter - and they for the life of them cannot learn. They’re constantly doing something they’re not supposed to and constantly being punished/reminded/put in time out. Is there something I’m doing wrong?! They need constant attention and are constantly on the go I just can’t keep up. [/quote]

Kids have a need to be close to their parents, a rule like this is horrible.  I grew up with it, and I can tell you that I knew as a kid that my mom didn't want me around and it hurt.  I think that if you make your kids seem welcome in your house, they'd probably treat you better.  [/quote]
