a free day with the kids.....

....i don't really know what to do!

i was asked by dad this morning about gernot and how he likes to attack wolfram and i said he rarely does it when i am around mostly cause i do not allow this kind of behavior.

i mentioned we should probably get together to figure out how we can all be on the same page with discipline because as soon as tamara or joachim get home, gernot attcks his brother as if he's been saving it up all day (which he has) and he also must know there's nothing i can do about it because i try to stay out of things when parents are around....

or i just don't feel comfortable enough to butt in....i will say in front of them to gernot, 'not nice' and 'gentle'

taking things away doesn't really work because his parents do not like this approach.

so i do what works for me and we have good days.

gernot used to hit wolfram when he was a baby so i think it's just a matter of time before wolfram wises up and fights back....

(with no egging on by me of course!)

oren my old roommate and friend was in a motorcycle accident yesterday. he is at innova fairfax with a broken back, pulmonary contusions and a really fucked right arm.

thankfully he is awake and alert.

send the thoughts his way!

it's incredible sometimes how quickly life can change...

oooh i get to download LOST now!
