I totally feel the same way and know that those days when I feel somewhat in control of our house are to be enjoyed cos they're so few and far between. Yay for the blogosphere and knowing I'm not alone in trying to navigate these murky waters. xoxoCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556843852780239036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127317602301649739.post-74744324852611665632010-05-02T19:25:04.911+10:002010-05-02T19:25:04.911+10:00As a mum of 4 kids, I'm still figuring out wha...As a mum of 4 kids, I'm still figuring out what works. I'd love to be strict. But my kids are basically very good and kind, and I am honestly so tired sometimes that I can't be bothered....parenting fail :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527588191107839720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127317602301649739.post-53120353779491289692010-05-02T02:46:55.469+10:002010-05-02T02:46:55.469+10:00Seems this meme has made it everywhere!

I think I will take up the challenge on two of my blogs; the third is only two weeks old, so I'm not expecting much change there.<br /><br />I'm all about parenting by common sense. My kids didn't have schedules, simply because I was too busy with three jobs to make sure they were always in bed by a certain time with a nice bedtime routine. They learned to sleep whenever and wherever - to this day they're very flexible and not so rigidly set in their schedules that they feel anxious. My friends flipped their lids that I didn't have a nice, calm bedtime routine. I felt a little guilty that I wasn't doing it "right", but like you, I quickly regained my confidence that I could make the right decisions for my kids. I also agree that a swat on the butt never hurt anything; one or two through toddlerhood saved me a whole lot of headache when they were older.GunDivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02965363044411500380noreply@blogger.com
