Worst Part of the Day - Probably from about 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. IMP has a slight cold and you would think he had emphysema (she said with no trace of maternal instinct). 2.4 year old is amusing himself by running his play car into the dog. Chaos ensues. Much crying, snotting and general misery.
Best Part of the Day - It was a rough morning. The 2.4 year old "checked" his little brother once (put in the corner in "time out" by mom), twice (put in the corner in "time out" by mom), and thrice (put in the corner in "time out" by DAD who is not f*&king around anymore.) He is wanting to spank, I say no. So after the trauma and drama - we sat down and had a compromise. I did see that 2.4 year old "got it" when dad put him in time out. There was a marked difference in 2.4 year old demeanor during dad's time out. I can't be so gentle (maybe his borderline laughing should have clued me in). That is hard - but I (hope) it will pay off in the long run. So the good part was parents talking things through during a stressful time .... I think with just a tiny push from either one of us, it could have turned into a verbal smack down. However, I hope this ends soon.
