Last night was open house at my sons' school. I met their teachers and they are both doing so well in school. My oldest has always been a good student but my youngest had trouble in kindergarden. H eis quite the shy little boy. This year seems to be different, he speaks up in class. He isn't afraid to say the answers to the questions that he knows. He also knows his words alot better then he did last year. I guess all that reading and writing I do with him is really helping. I am so glad he is doing better.
My aunt got the boys some new books from the book fair at the school. My youngest got a build a book. You make it yourself. We are having fun with that. My oldest got a poster an da magnetic building set. It was a fun night until we got home. I told the boys to get ready for bed when we got home. Instead they decided to open their new books and toys. I had gone down stairs to boot up the computer so I could use it when they were in bed. When I came up to check if they were ready for bed my aunt was talking to them about why they were not doing as they were told. I decided that there new things had to be taken away until they were ready for bed. My aunt got mad that I was interfering with her and the boys. She said "I can handle this". Now correct me if I am mistaken but I am their mother and the discipline should come from me. My aunt has always said that I need to take charge of the boys which I will gladly do as soon as she gets out of my way. The boys and I get along splendidly when she isn't home. When she comes home I have nothing but problems. Mainly because she treats me like a child, therefore that is how the boys see me. They don't listen when she is home especially my oldest. The worst is that I cannot discuss how I feel with my aunt because according to her I am always wrong. I simply cannot wait untill I have saved enough money to get back on my own.
