I have 4 children (12, 6, 3, 1) and I agree with Harn. I have learned (been taught by them) that life is much more enjoyable for all if I relax a bit and realize that we can spend the time having fun or worrying...I don't like my 1 year old eating popcorn she finds under the couch but I don't loose my mind over it and call poison control either. My oldest does help me to realize the things I have done wrong with him so I can fix them with the younger ones, even though each is so unique that I have to constantly stay on my toes. What a blast!
It is all good...
