I definitely have this problem! I can honestly say it is my own fault...I try to treat my own little one (17 months) the same as all of the others; however, he isn't the same. I'm his mom! He knows how to push my buttons, and is much more willing to try to push them then any of the other littles I care for. My older son - now 4 and in preschool - was also challenging when he was here every day with me. I can proudly report that his teachers at preschool think he is a wonderful, respectful, smart and kind child (whew!). I know I am doing the right thing for my kids by staying home with them, but there are most certainly days when I question my judgement!!!! Hang in there ~
