We’ve been struggling just a bit with Hallie’s sassy/bossy/mean personality. We see it with her friends, her brother and even us. So we had a special family home evening the other night to discuss the importance of kindness and being nice. We recounted the days events and listed what were kind things and what were mean things. We talked of how we can be nice and some different solutions to problems that might arise.
Hallie looked at me and let out an over exaggerated sigh. I asked her what was wrong.
“You’re just really talking a lot, can’t you let dad talk now.”
I think the lesson is already helping…
Classic! Glad to know I'm not the only one dealing with the sassy/mean/back-talk issues!
Maybe Zack & Hallie can be best friends & give each other a dose of their own medicine. He has flat worn me out with all his sass…backtalk, hitting, the works.
Oh man Kara.. You seriously are going to have your handfuls when she really understands that her talking back and sassing drives you crazy!! She'll start doing it just for fun, not just when you're not being nice! haha.
That's awesome. She's a little saucy–I like it.

She does, indeed, have some sass. It in entertaining to hear about it, nonetheless.
Oh…I love it. Her and Jack would get along great! Whenever I talk to him in a serious voice as he is doing something naughty, he says… "Mom, talk nice to me!" Where do they get this stuff?!
P.S. I have been wanting to see you guys really bad lately! We need to plan something!!
absoluely hirlarious.
