In my last entry I told you all about how I've spent the week with my brother and his kids...

And I also said that I can't wait to have kids...

But these have to be the most badly behaved children I've ever spent time with in my entire life. They mess with each other just because they can. They yell and scream and hit each other for no apparent reason. And they act like complete retards.

Seriously, the 5 month old is the best behaved out of all of them.

The 13 year old girl loves to annoy the 5 year old boy. She'll kick him, threaten him, say things to make him scream, hit him, and other things I'll leave to your imagination.

The 5 year old boy will hit both the 13 year old AND 2 year old girls. He's the loudest. He's always violent, and he never shuts up.

The 2 year old girl will whine before she even asks for anything. She is perfectly capable of talking, but she chooses to cry instead of getting her point across. Plus, she does bad things just because the 5 year old does them. When she's scolded it does no good.

I know what you're thinking: Children act that way because they're children. And I understand that. But there's no excuse for them to be doing some of the things that they do.
Describing them as terrorists would be an understatement.

I mean, I love em to death. They can be sweet when they wanna be...but they need more discipline. They're terror on the highest most days.

Going through this prepares me to teach my children differently, and do a better job at parenting.
