How is it that every single one of your kids, no matter how many you have, always seem to come from completely different corners of the universe? Exactly how many corners can there be? I'd swear my youngest is some secret seed from some far flung alien planet.
The all have strong personalities, but Mason can be a monster (of the alien variety) at times. He's also the one I have the most difficulty with figuring out how to discipline. Nothing seems to work. And spankings? He'll laugh in your face. And taking away his favorite things is impossible because his favorite things aren't "things." Positive reinforcement will sometimes work depending on his mood. Maybe velcroing him to the wall until I figure something out will give me some extra time to figure this puzzle out. Where's the Mensa Club when I need it?
