Thinking fast
Kids can say the oddest things when you tell them to do something. My kids tell me, "I don't have to." or "I'm just a kid. I'm not suppose to." or "I don't feel like it." What? Their father and I are no longer together so his girlfriend will tell my kids they don't have to do any of that. What? I really want to know that who told her she could tell my kids they don't have to listen to me.
I put my kids in their rooms. If they don't want to clean up after themselves they don't have to. They get to set in their rooms until they fell like cleaning up their mess. It takes about not even a minute. They don't like to have to set in their rooms.

The back talking stage and time outs
This is a very ruff time for both parent and child. Kids get a bit older and they decide they are big enough to tell you no when you tell them to clean their room. They tell you to stop acting childish because you tell them to stop fight with their sister or bother.
How I am dealing worth this behavior is first telling them to stop, second giving them a warning, and third time out. My kids will come and ask me every five minutes, "Can I come out now." or "I just have to go to the bathroom." or "I'm hungry." or "Can I have something to drink." My reply is no to everything except the bathroom. But remember that they do not have to go to the bathroom every five minutes. My son will tell me he couldn't go. I tell him tough he needs to wait until he is out of time out.
When you do time outs it's only one minute for each year of their age. A good method to use is getting an area rug like a bathmat size. They can sit, stand, and or lay down. But always pick one spot in the house for time outs. You can use a timer. Outside time outs can be anywhere. Always make it a point to keep track of how many times you have to repeat yourself.

Being a single parent with kids
It's not easy to be a single parent. I have knowen weman all my life who were single moms. They didn't have problems like today. Recently I have realize that most single moms are scared to death of dating. I was nerves but not scared. Now I'm just not dating. I focus on my kids like I have been since My husbend and I separated. When they are with their grandparents I'm bored and just plain lost. I don't know what to do with myself. I truely love being a mom. But if you do date here are some tips for you:
1. I have learned never let your kids meet the new man or weman in their own home.
2. Take them out to eat or to the park. Have him or her meet you there.
3. Let your kids get to know him or her.
4. Talk to your children about him or her and make it clear they are free to speak.
