I have a plan. Start off really stern! Almost dictatorship-like stern. One whine, tattle, fight, or back talk and they are sent to their room. The worse offense of them all........the "B" word.
BORED.
The other day a friend was over and said the "B" word. Guess what I did? Ended the play date. (I told you, I was stern!)
I figure that it is easier to start off stern and then ease off.
Where is Summer anyhow? All this rain! Still, we have started swim lessons and today we enjoyed an ice cream cone--all in the rain.
While the kids are screaming and shouting for joy,
I will be screaming and shouting for other various reasons.

I'm following your lead on the stern factor! And I like your no "B" word allowed rule too!
so so sick of the rain.
