Are children are out of control or do parents not spend enough time with them?

what do you think??? Everyone tells me my children are excellent but yet I think they can be so bad. I try to do alot of stuff with them but sometimes I just find myself to tired or dont have the patience because they start yelling, fighting, making messes? Then when they are bad I dont feel I should reward them with extra carricular activities but when they get bored they go on a destruction path in the house. I think others say they are good because Ive put my foot down with respecting others especially when we are out, but at home that just dont work, any ideals to help me please!?!?!?

When children are in their comfort zone they tend to act out more, this is where they release their own tension, anger, frustration and unfortunately we get the brunt of it. when my kids are out they are such good kids, but when we get home it is truly a different story. I knw that I was much worse when I was their age so I know that I am doing well with them and I do play with them as much as I can but at the same time I need my space too....They are such good girls and I know that at times when they get bad, I do my best to keep n them and have others say that they are good kids to me. I feel that I am doing my job as a parent when I hear how polite my children are or how nice they are or how they are doing well in school or trying well to be on their best behavior.... You are doing a good job keep it up

hi, showmethecash :) That is the children, they only need more room to express themselves. Yelling, good fighting (joking each other) it's normally. I think learn to playing music is so good for all children make them balance in mind and soul, just try it :)
