Older Boy went to respite for the weekend so that I could have a peaceful weekend with my parents.  It was a nice break.

The house has an entirely different atmosphere when Older Boy is not present.

We were able to play some games as a family and Younger Boy was able to sit and build with legos for about two hours.  That would have never happened with Older Boy there.  He only lets him do things like that for about 15 minutes before he is antagonizing him and breaking the things Younger Boy is building.

Praises for peace.
