Hello Whoaminoone, I am in the same boat as you infortunately. My kids are driving me up the wall, and they get worse into the evening time/night time. I think theyt can sence our frustration and play on that. I used to threaten them that Santa would not come, but, he is gone now so , where does that leave me. I know I sound like terrible parent threatning my kids but it was the only thing that worked (most of the time!). The thing is to follow through with the punishment. If they dont stay in their beds, that there will be no t.v. the next day etc.. You know what I mean anyway. It will be hell for a while but I think that you are already there! My kids are 14,9 qnd 7. You are not alone. PM me any time you like o.k. and good luck with the job, I hope you get it. Fingers crossed.
