This morning, for the first time ever, John shouted at Chris, "That's not fair!" and he stormed off to hide in the closet. That is until Chris got him out and put him into the time out corner.
I think John started with the back talk later than other kids because (1) he's an oldest sibling (later kids will pick it up from him), (2) he's not in any institutional care with other kids from whom to pick it up, and (3) his television-watching where he could pick up bad examples is extremely limited. But the day comes for every parent eventually!
It's just NOW starting for you??? Sheesh, you've had it easy! ;)
