The year old is crying because I'm making her take a bath, the 6 year old because I made him go to bed before he fell asleep on the couch so I didn't have to carry him.

I trust you is a better compliment than I love you, because you may not trust the person you love, but you can always love the person you trust. - Unknown

I love when mine yells at me, I calmly respond with "I love you", and she gives me the whaaaat? look. Then she apologizes and says she shouldn't treat me that way.  [This message edited by jo2love at 8:29 PM, March 31st (Sunday)]

I love it, Meta! 
Is it sick that I love to add, "You know it's normal to be mad. It's a part of puberty." Oh she hates any mention of it.

11 yr old didnt want the bath. Kept trying to negotiate. I gave her 5 mins to get in the tub or I was going to help her.
No go.
So I helped her out of her clothes, dumped water on her head, lathered shampoo and rinsed.
In between furious screams she was telling me she couldnt breathe. But I figured ya know, if she can scream she can breathe, right?

Ahhhh, my empty nest is so quiet.

Yes; the 'empty nester' is sitting here, drinking tequila and laughing...
You are important and you matter. Your feelings matter. Your voice matters. Your story matters. Your life matters. Always.

Empty nester here too. Unless you count the furbaby, who's part shepard, part beagle, mostly attention hound...
