I'm at the end of my tether, DD is 6 and DS is 4, nearly 5.
I am finding them very challenging at the moment because neither of them do as they are told and they constantly back chat me. It's constant wilful defiance.
It's now bedtime, I'm telling them to go up to their rooms, where I will read them a story and they are ignoring me! They do not care!
They steal treats from the cupboard when they are told not to. They do not respect me or DH. They treat him the same way as they do me.
I'm looking for helpful strategies please. I need to pull rank and regain control of my house. At the moment the kids are calling the shots.
