Here we have to prevent Div from being Dhruv's third parent. Talk about micromanaging and hypervigilance...now we've rebuked her so many times not to 'parent' him, that even Dhruv turns around and tells her, "You're not my mother". LOL!!! <strong>UTBT SAYS: Starry it only seems to have gotten worse. The second one is already a drama queen with infinitesimal stubbornness. She is in the middle of some major show down for some minor thing as putting her sandals inside the shoe closet and I am saying, "You can put your shoes away and be done with it right now or throw them around the house, loose it and cry for it tomorrow morning when you really need it." Just when the she is convinced and shows signs of putting her shoes away, the older one walks in with hands on hips, "Yes. Tomorrow morning you will keep searching for your shoes. You will not find it. We will not wait for you. We don't have time for that. We will leave you and go." All damages done, I have to start from scratch, thanks. Now I have two children to address.</strong> True theorems!!

We witness the same scene - overprotective sister behind the baby saying al those NOs :P We even get reprimanded sometimes for not closing the gate on the stairs properly :P LOVE your theorems!

Saying no is essential to a good prarent. Thats how kids learn their limits. With every child birth, the mother's attitude changes a little bit. One might get more intense or relaxed. Sometimes, with the second child, certain things may not seem that crucial and you let go. Thats what I meant. Sometime children tune out, so parents need to learn the art of saying no in a manner that children hear and accept it. Shobana, even for a minute, don’t feel guilty about saying no.
