Most days I feel as though I am drowning with my boys... and they are only 4 and almost 2! They are everything you describe here and it does send me round the twist at times.<br />My Mama bought me a copy of Raising Boys, I have read parts, but not all of it. I need to get it out and read it, thanks for the reminder.<br />Love the photos, they both made me smile.

I will definitely make a point to order that book....I am having serious disagreements with my nine year old at the moment and would love to hav th answers that would work for us. I'm lucky also that my hubby and I work as a team and in general I have three noisy, healthy, well rounded loving boys....but then that could be because two are in school at the moment!*https://www.blogger.com/profile/10821840185143701654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012472518273957917.post-78195499497383873552012-04-26T20:10:03.705+10:002012-04-26T20:10:03.705+10:00Hi Sandra, I can also whole-heartedly agree that t...Hi Sandra, I can also whole-heartedly agree that this is a fabulous book, and probably the only parenting book I have bothered to read. Steve is a Tasmanian and I went to one of his Parenting Boys talks down here just after I had my first boy. It was terrific. I'm one of 3 girls myself so parenting a boy was (and is) a complete mystery to me..and now I have 3!! Oh and a belated happy 40th!!!

My boys seem pretty happy at the moment so something must be working ok! We have a team approach my husband and I too, even if sometimes it feels like we are a bit good cop bad cop,! Have a great day :)littlewoolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044255857519779930noreply@blogger.com
