The Terrible Twos? How about the Terrible Fours!

What ever happened to sweet little Signe? These two weeks at home with the kids, have been great in many ways. I have gotten to know Signe and Emil a lot better, both the good and the bad. I don't know if it's just because Lotta is gone, but Signe especially has been testing the waters a lot. She also thinks that she is Emil's mother and totally bosses him around. Tantrums here and tantrums there. But of course an angel when she's with others. I have tried to be consistent in discipline, but I think I need to pick my battles better.

I just want to commend every mother who deals with this daily. A special "Hats Off " to Lotta who has spent most of her time with the kids. I'm in awe of how well you have been taking care of them! Even though I think I have done an ok job at being a Stay-at-Home Dad, I promise never to complain about what the apartment looks like, or why the clothes haven't been washed. Frankly I don't know how you manage to do all of the things you do all in a day's work.

A tip to all the Dads out there: Stay home with your children for a couple of weeks, or even longer for that matter, and you will definitely appreciate the mother of your children a whole lot more!
And for the Moms out there: I'm definitely open for some good advice :)

Den bilden är så bra att jag vill ha den uppe på väggen! Fantastisk. Jag känner mig besläktad med Signe om det här är hennes humör då och då. Mitt också.
