My days of being a mother of 2 are coming to an end. Michael and Noah will be back tomorrow. And I have missed them!

We are never going to finish school! Not at the rate my son has decided to work! How can I motivate a child to work when he ignores EVERYTHING that comes out of my mouth? I lose my temper, but that doesn’t work…I ask nicely, but then he takes that as [...]
