Thank God I don’t have 5 kids. I would be nuts, lol. My mom had 5 and there is no way I would want to go that route.

 My noncah son is the more "aggressive" than my daughter is. So I don’t really think that cah can control whether we are mean or not.  And yes it is up to us to show them the right way to go and hope that they will stay that way. But while they are in my home I will not allow one to be so mean as to cause the others to fear him or her, or to be so moody and grumpy towards others without being called down for it. 

 Good luck with all of yours, they are growing up so fast. You are right about having only 2 children, it is easier. But I do have one stepdaughter too, I guess I ’m just lucky cause she has a great personality. My son is the only one I really have to put my foot down with. Hmmmm....I would need a referee uniform and a whistle if I had more than that. LOL
