Just skimming, but they all seem pretty level headed. "Just a phase" is one that I've finally learned...it seemed like hair pulling would go on forever. It lasted about a month. :) I think Don't Fear Tears is VERY good advice. No one likes to hear their kid cry, but sometimes it's gotta happen if you want to wear the pants in the relationship. The "watch what you say" is kind of a "duh". I'd never use that phrase she used, let alone in front of DC! And calling someone annoying in front of your kids is asking for trouble. :)
