So far, our house is still full to bursting with extra kids so I must be doing something right!<br /><br />I rarely correct my nephews, but last week I found one kicking a dog (a huge sin in my book) and another lifted up my skirt for a peek and I wasn't the fun Aunt they usually see. I love those little boys, and I love them enough to say knock it off, that's not okay.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05754778263332756663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201036437468822838.post-41735228773382860512012-04-15T07:31:05.857-05:002012-04-15T07:31:05.857-05:00Good for you, Sarah.

I believe we all need to wear our parent hats sometimes n order to serve our kids well. Your nieces and nephews are lucky. and I am familiar with that role - I have a slew of nieces and nephews - 24 at last count - and there are several with whom I am particularly close. I would not (and never have) hesitated to be the parent with them and I think they are grateful for that.Graciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.com
