Maybe we need to throw my girls and your son together for a week or so of fireworks!<BR/><BR/>(We can't blame our problem on cultural heritage, though...don't know how we wound up with two such self-willed Chinese daughters. Kind of a scary thought...runs opposite to any birth culture influence...what does that say about OUR family that such dynamics have developed?...man, good thing my husband isn't reading over my shoulder!!!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188373634820950271.post-67193837454072973312008-08-26T01:54:00.000-05:002008-08-26T01:54:00.000-05:00We're right there with you.

Jacob (12) not only tells his 2 bio. sisters what to do, but enjoys bossing his 2 new little brothers around, as well.<BR/><BR/>And ... for Julie's comment ... we had huge issues at first with how Jacob treated me. I was definitely just the cook and the mean lady with rules.<BR/><BR/>Not fun!<BR/><BR/>:) :) :)Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253303288242135440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188373634820950271.post-85690538796284993002008-08-25T13:07:00.000-05:002008-08-25T13:07:00.000-05:00In our adoption training we learned that is DEFINI...In our adoption training we learned that is DEFINITELY a cultural thing. Ethiopian women are viewed as people to cook, clean and generally be the maid. Their suggestion (the trainers) was for the dad to reinforce with a "You will not treat MY WIFE" that way" or in the case "My DAUGHTER". Course I happen to have the same problem with my 8 yr old bio son :-)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05169094298877625611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188373634820950271.post-67907058045619204492008-08-25T13:00:00.000-05:002008-08-25T13:00:00.000-05:00You go mom!
