Glad I found this board----HELP!!!

Hello! I am the proud parent of four rambunctious kids, 9 yo twin girls, an 8 yo boy and a 5 yo girl. They are the reason I get up in the morning, and the main reason I decided to have WLS. I wanted to be able to play with them and participate in their childhoods while they still want me to. My problem- my twins are getting to the pint where they are arguning with everything I say. I swear that if I say the grass in our yard is green, they would argue that it was orange just to pi** me off. It is driving me loopy. ANy ideas on how to stop this before it gets out of hand? I am so dreading puberty right now, you wouldn't believe it! Any suggestions would be appreciated! Susan 250/135 RNY 2/5/02

Susan I boy do I know what you are going through. i am a 5 year old he will be 6 in October. Everything I say to him he argues back at me. He can ask me a question and I will give him an answer and he will say no it's not. I also have a 11 month old. I am a single parent and I am going CRAZY!!!!! Janette

Hi Susan, I too have 9 year old twins and they do nothing but fight all the time. Well let me correct myself, Jenny the girl always is starting trouble with her brother Aaron. I'm not sure but I think it's because they are getting older trying to become their own person. I am constantly tell them to stop calling each other names, it's a constant war. All I can say is that this too will pass. Write me back if you'd like to talk. Good Luck 275-260-192-165
