You are all so very right....thanks for helping me understand that I did what I could with what I had. Thank you even more for helping me to learn to think strategically if I run into this type of...
Thank you for your ideas. Number 6 and number 8 are especially helpful and I will implement them the next time I have a family like this! Clearly I need to learn to set limits with this type of...
