Oh, They Are Screaming Bloody Murder...

It's 8:20pm and both kiddles, N and Lil' Peanut are in their own beds, snuggled warmly from head to toe. But a raucous noise comes from both rooms and resounding off the walls and my ear drums. EESH!

Okay, 'experts' are always good at telling parents just what to do with your child, but I often wonder what those 'experts' actually do in their own homes with their own children? Hmmm...

It would be great to be a fly on one of their walls and to see if they actually walk the walk and talk the talk or are just giving all of us parents lip service.

Or could it be that those very 'experts' are on a high dosage of Xanax or other med so they don't have really have the same kind of problems the rest of us do. Having children who scream and cry or bite or sas back or hit or some other childhood angst.

So, as I'm writing this entry the two adorable kiddles are screaming their lungs out, but as soon as you go into their rooms they are laughing and smiling, as if they hadn't been creating havoc to their Momma's poor ears and heart.

So what to do? Go get them and laugh it all off together? Or let them cry it out? Take Xanax or a tranquilizer and go to bed? Or try to settle one down for sleep and then get the other calmed down as well. Such a dilemma!

What is a parent to do?

I actually have no clue but I'm sure I'll try something in the next few minutes or hours.
