Tonight Younger Boy had completely HORRIBLE behavior between daycare and dinner.  He was mad, because he had gotten a "slash" for not doing homework and had to serve the consequence...which is no electronics for the evening.

Middle Boy and Younger Boy went outside to play with some neighbor kids.  Older Boy didn't want to.  Instead he stayed inside and was SO LOUD.

No one would listen when it was time to take a shower and go to bed.  I need to work on expectations.  I am no longer going to ask people to do anything more than once.  I'm just going to expect it to get done.

I went into their room (after bedtime) and said through shaky voice and tear-filled eyes "would it be so hard to just listen to me?".  I said goodnight and went in my room and cried.
