Do I have to?

The last few days, Gabe has been a bit of a rugrat.    At daycare he’s been bullying other kids, seemingly just to test their reaction and see them cry.    And at home, he’s been increasingly whiny and petulent.    I’m hoping that it’s just because he’s readjusting to his normal life after getting used to a different house and different people during a long, wonderful holiday vacation in South Dakota.    If not, Mommy and Daddy are going to have to brush up on the discipline section of Parenting for Dummies!
