I think that I might scream!

OK so for those people who don't want to read this post because I will be venting!!! Then don't:)

So I think that I might scream the next time I hear "It is a boy thing" when in reference to my boys. Please say "wow, you have your hands full with those 2 boys" or "they are 2 crazy boys, why can't you keep control of them" or "you know I am sure that there is medicine that might help" or "you are not a very good mom when you can't control your boys and mine are angels and don't ever do what your boys are doing" I know you are thinking it!!!!

I am the first to admit that they are crazy boys and yes they don't listen that well, but please be honest and stop saying "It is a boy thing" when your boys or the other boys around are not doing the same thing. I know that you are trying to be nice, but it is a tad more insulting then you think.

Ya, I know that my boys are very excited about life and about everything that goes on around them. And yes they don't listen that well and they misbehave a lot and I curse their behavior a lot, but they are my boys I love them more that anything and I am trying my best to guide them in the right direction and steer all of the energy that they have in a positive way.
So thank you for your friendly way of saying..."you are a bad mom and your boys are out of control." I will keep that in mind!

I sure hope I haven't said this recently?! :) Trust me, Kenna definitely has her rambuctious side too and I know people say think things all the time because I'm never home! But I think you're doing a fabulous job with your boys. and Kenna LOVES them!

Baaahahaha! Oh my heck Tara, your boys ARE crazy (and I say that in the most loving, non-judgemental way, you know :), but who cares?! You are an amazing mom and you do everything you can to teach them, but in the end, they will do what they do. It's all about personality, and wouldn't life be boring if your boys had none? Might be easier, but definately boring. Everyone loves them to death, they are the cutest boys ever. And you're earning your place in heaven ;) Love you girl.

You are definitely not a bad mother for having rambunctious head-strong boys. I have a rambunctious head-strong girl and boy, and a lady in my ward helped me put it into perspective one day. She said it is hard now, but when they are teenagers you will be grateful because they will be strong enough to do what is right when others around them aren't. Until then I didn't know that having kids that don't listen could be a blessing! Good luck! You are a GREAT mother!

But Tara... I LOVE your crazy boys! They always know how to make me laugh and smile, even when they are totally out of control. They wouldn't be the same if they were tame. :)

OMG, Ryan is the Wildest BOY! And I have no idea how to control him... So dont feel too bad, seriously, I do think there is truth to the fact that little boys are wild and crazy and distructive!
They have so much energy, the only way I can help is by letting Ryan play outside all day, and get as dirty and smelly as possible!
Keep your chin up! I think they are the best!
