Good morning,
I loved that movie. I took my godmother to see it not long before she passed.
You have one son, right? I'm wondering if that might make a difference as well.
Thinking back, I thought having two kids would mean they'd have someone to play with and everyone else seemed to have two for some reason that I knew. So had two and they're completely opposite in everything. So much for the having two girls close together so they can be best friends theory (although I hear it'll happen when they're grown and I'm probably gone and can't see it lol).
As far as my friend goes, she was raised by a strict Catholic family so she has some issues with disciplining. She doesn't want to be strict or like her parents but then again her kids are getting to the point of being uncontrollable. Reasoning with them doesn't work (they're toddlers for goodness sakes), screaming at them does nothing (they know she's not going to do anything else and laugh) so every day she's worn out just trying to get them to do anything.
She said they will listen to strangers just fine. This tells me because they don't know what others will do if they don't listen and she has no control over them which she better get early on or they're going to get worse as they grow up.
I think if I didn't already have two, I might be able to have just just one at our age ok but after already going thru 18 yrs already, I don't think so.
