I have 3 good kids, healthy, normal(for the most part LOL!)polite and respectful…BUT, they drive me nuts..with the lying, breaking things(of course no one knows who did it) not following through, fluctuating grades, eating EVERYthing in sight, not helping out with chores (they are assigned specific chores)bad hygiene ( the boys, if you dont SAY everyday, take bath/shower/brush you teeth)then to them it DOESNT have to be done…. but again, normal… I cannot imagine a life without having kids in it… My question, im sure many of you have experienced this, when they were all grown up, successful and independant, did you look back and wish you could do it again, or were you glad that you finally have your peace, freedom and a CLEAN home? just wondering. Any tips, suggestions antedotes will be appreciated.
