So the skids came over this weekend for their visit. All and all things went ok. Still some of the same issues that BF and i have been working on for ever

- SS5 hitting SD3. I mean really how many times do we need to tell him that hitting is not ok and thats not how you express that you are unhappy

- SD3 crying when she doesnt get what she wants. Dont really know what to say about this one hoping that its something that she grows out of, we just keep telling her that if she is upset then she needs to use her words.

Here is a good example. The two older kids SS5 and BD6 have leapsters so they were playing there games and SD3 asked SS5 if she could have the leapster and he said no that he was playing with it so she yelled "youre not my best friend" ran into her room crying and slammed the door. So I went in there and told her that we do not slam doors here and told her to stay in there until she had clamed down. Here is where i messed up. She came out and BF asked her to apologize to me and I told him that she didnt need to apologize for slamming the door that she just needed to remember that this is not her mothers trailer this is our home and it will be treated with respect. Feel really bad for saying that its the first time i have said anyting negative about their mother to them. I just get really frustrated because i know we are fighting an uphill battle when it comes to the SKIDS because they are allowed to do whatever they want at BMs house so I am sure that it must be a shock to go from BMs house to ours where we make them do such horrid things like pick up toys, go to bed at 8:00pm, not hit each other, not scream, play nicley.
