UG! We just had a 'going to be hassle' because I made an exception the night before last, and again last night. Reminded me that one of the difficulties of making exceptions is that then it's harder to disipline myself! I always thought that if one were consistient then unwanted behavior would extinguish - in our house, it seems that the urge toward unwanted behavior becomes less intense over time, but never really goes away. It seems that if I make an exception once, it is so much harder for me to 'go back' to doing what I know is right.
