I'm sick and tired of dealing with Rachel and her bad moods all the time!!!!!! I don't know how to get her to stop throwing her fits over every little thing!!! How do I get her to be happy?! I know now why Heavenly Father blessed me with another little boy in stead of a girl. I couldn't handle another Rachel! Any advice?

Great, Mary. You took mine. I was going to say:

Two words: Beat down.

Henry used to drive me crazy when he was younger. I've heard that boys are harder when the are younger and then they mellow-out after a little while. Girls are the opposite. I used to read books and I could usually find good advice that actually worked for me and Henry. My favorite was "Setting Limits with Your Strong-Willed Child." Here's the link on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Setting-Limits-Your-Strong-Willed-Child/dp/0761521364/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263070732&sr=8-4
I ended up buying it after borrowing it from the library because I liked it so much and wanted to keep it as a reference. If you want to look but can't find it at the library and don't feel like buying it, let me know and I'd be happy to send it out to you.

I know the Super Nanny lady also came out with a book that a lot of people like and say helped them a lot, too. I think Kath actually read that one.

Sorry Rachel's being such a tool. Kids are awesome, but seriously-- they can suck so bad sometimes!

By the way, and for what it's worth... I think you're an awesome mom :)

Tim and I had major problems with Josh and they are continuing as seen at his b-day party. We've be doing conscious discipline with him. It's a whole mindset change for Tim and me and it's hard, but we're seeing some changes. You can find it on consciousdiscipline.com. Start with the 10 tips in the free stuff section. here's the or address for that one http://www.beckybailey.com/disciptip.cfm?identifier=2
