Two days Reflections

A little one - on - one time never hurt anybody, and usually it clears things up real fast.

My poor kids are a mess. Last night we reached a better understanding about what is going to happen soon. It helped them today through school.   Home life, on the other hand, was way more chaotic.  By the end of the day I had lectured them extensively and given them specific instructions not to follow the other's helpful justification reasons but to only obey my instructions. I had also told one of them I would not believe them because they had lied to me too many times today.   I also prohibited them from talking to each other, they could only talk to me. We had peace at last. :)

I think they need more sleep and more personal one-on-one attention this week.

What are your thoughts? Is he really trustworthy? Does it excuse him?
