Argh!
How do you go from having a fun evening of playing board games to having 2 boys who are throwing punches and screaming at each other? And how do you get over the guilt that I as a mom feel for not quitting playing 30 minutes earlier? We hardly ever play board games but tonight Son2 and I decided to play. He trounced me thoroughly on the first game we played (Rummikub) and then we decided to play Pente. I beat him on that game. Then Son1 comes home from praise team practice and wants to join in. So we play a couple more rounds - of which both boys win 1 each - with Son2 winning last. During clean-up Son2 drops some of the stones into the "wrong" bag - mixing colors. Son1 gets mad and starts throwing punches which of course are returned. Consequences at the moment are that neither boy will be allowed to stay home tomorrow when I have places to go...And somehow I have to figure out how to get kids to bed when it's still light outside!

Hang in there! I'm praying for you. Blessings, Mish
ah, i know what you are talking about, having a random fight break out over "nothing"... it stinks. :( like today, jonas was walking the dog, and isaiah wanted to hold the leash, and jonas punched him in the eye! he had to go to his room and stay there till it was clean (which could be hours, he's still up there)... so i completely understand, and it's okay, you are NOT a bad mom! these things happen all the time, it's the pecking order. sorry you are stressed! :(
