Mine are the same - I sympathise!
How old are they?
Have you tried withdrawing their privileges? I find taking favourite toys away every time they ignore me and not letting them have them back until they behave works (sometimes)
Does your dh back you up? I often threaten to "tell daddy" as he doesn't take as much crap as I will.

Mine are 6 and 3 too, both boys, and i find it hard to discipline them. DS1 is being really cheeky at the moment, and they playfight all day long, which I can only put up with for so long. i use withdrawal of prviliges and 'grounding' which can work on occassions. I just seem top spend most days esp at bedtime yelling my head off! Neighbours must think I ama witch!

Mine are 6 and 3 too - must be a phase. Hopefully they'll grow out of it soon.
At least we're not alone!

Mine are the same too, they are 8, 6 and 3 and driving me nuts. We have a friends bonfire to go to on saturday and I am dreading what their behaviour will be like.

Boys are hard work, and tehn people ask me if I want anymore. WTF!

mummypoo · 02/11/2006 22:38

... then you look at them when they are asleep and your heart melts!!!

Wouldn't be without them even though they woke me up at 0645 to wish me happy birthday this morning!
