The other day, the boys and I were talking after an exhausting morning of siblings fights… We all know that we have unwritten rules to follow in our relationships with others but we decided that it made sense to wrote them out and put them up on the wall as a reminder.

We all sat down and talked about them and figured out what were the best rules in the house so that everyone could live happily together.
