LOL. Yes my kids learned early as my grandchildren are now learning that I was not the guy that was going to cave in. They also learned young that I don't like repeating myself. Along about the 3rd no I might have to tap the reset button on the back of their heads to clear their ears. Happens only once in each of their little lives but we then have an agreement for life:) Oldest grandson and I were together for the day some years back. It was time for him to take a nap and about the third time he told me he didn't want to take a nap I bent down to glare into his eyes and quietly said, "I don't really care what you want Michael and the sooner you realize that, the better you and I will get along." All I have to do to this day is just glare at him and he starts moving on whatever task has been assigned:) I have a theory that kids behave for the most part exactly as you expect them to behave. We have a library room with many pretties and stuff for children to break. My 3 of Amanda's can not be in that room when their parents are around as they would destroy the place. When we have them while the parents are not there I sit out there and read my paper and they all behave wonderfully. My daughter can't understand it though I've tried to explain. She is a screamer who just gets continually louder and I've tried to explain that she needs to get off her butt and force them to respond not just scream louder. Perhaps some day she will learn but I'm not hopeful. The madder I get the quieter I get so they really have to listen closely to hear me. I find it's better that way.
