The kids behave differently when Papa is around. When I, the mommy, handle them on my own at home (at times when Mike need to go for late or Saturday appointments), they are so well behaved. When Papa is at home, they will be to some mischief or try to create havoc.
When we are out, Mike and I will take one kid each. Whoever I take, he or she will be an angel and would not demand to be carried and will walk hand-in-hand with me. When I say that I won't buy, he or she will put back the item and follow me.
With Mike, he or she want to be carried. Most times, when Jo wants something, Mike will buy for her. Thank goodness, the things she wants are not expensive.
Maybe I'm no-nonsense and is very strict, so much so that Matthew sometimes tells me that he doesn't want me... Mike can get angry, but because this seldom happens, Matthew is quite scared when Papa flares up. As for Jo, she is "banished" to the naughty corner when she is too demanding or throws tantrums.
