None of us are working to a rule book, and when it comes to parenting we’re all just winging it and doing the best we can. This isn’t to say any of us need to be perfect because perfection doesn’t exist, however, there are a few things within our control…

As the girls get older is getting harder to make them listen and obey without transforming myself into some kind of a growling creature.
