no possible way you can check on it anyway.
You'll notice as they become older they
discover the bathroom isn't the Chamber of
Horrors anymore and devote much time to
depleting the hot water and keeping towels in
constant rotation. If you want a bath too your
only salvation is making like a Sergeant
Major, run the bath water to the required
depth and issue threats if they take any more.
Forget about your hair dryer, let it stay in
their bedroom, with luck you'll get it back
some day.
Discipline can still be handed out fairly and
justly. If he continues to needle you about his
so-called rights, stand tall and stare up to his
6 . foot frame and threaten physical
punishment. It always throws' them off guard
and they concede the quarrel.
There are many other , problems that
present themselves but I cannot honestly'
answer them. Perhaps if I had the strength
and fortitude, I could start all over. As they
say, "the second time around is always
easier". (I don't think I'II take a chance on
that saying). Anyway, I hope my little tips
have helped or at least shown you that you're
not the only lost soul in the sea of
motherhood.
There's some other good advice, if it really
gets to you, write to Ann Landers. If her
suggestions don't work you'll have the
satisfaction of knowing that even she gets
stumped when dealing with "family".
