My older sister had her son and for the first five years of his life was constantly going out, and going to work, and my mom was the one who did most of the raising for her, now my little sister is pretty much doing the same. I on the other hand believe that ifyou have the kids, you need to be the one to take care of them. I have two children, 3 and 1. Iive pretty far away from my family, and i do a pretty good job of raising my kids with my husband. My neice and nephews get away wit alot of stuff, as well as getting almost anything they want so they dont cry. I dont treat my children like that and i dont coddle them when they cry for no reason. but when i come and visit i always get into an argument about why i wont let my son have juice after 6pm, or why i wont let him have cookies for breakfast. Or weather or not i should go running to my daughter when she gets mad about the fact that the toy she had isnt in the right position. i dont want to stop coming over, what can i do?
