[blparent] behavior problems with our 4 year old

[Star Gazer]

			There is a seven year age gap between my girls. My
in-laws didn't have our oldest for overnights until she was about 5 or so.
My mother-in-law was just done with the baby and toddler phase. 
My youngest seems to wear my parents out. She's very active and always has
been. I also think they worry about what could go wrong more then they used
to. I'm not sure why and they themselves may not even know. 
What I'd strongly suggest you do is find a peer group, ideally through
church or some religious type setting. This way all of you will be with
people who share a common value system and have a platform of expected
behaviors. This will allow you and your family to get to know people and
them to get to know you. This way if you want to trade baby-sitting or
whatever you can. 
Finally, next time you get a night to yourselves, go on a nice date. No way
would I use a non kid night to go to a conference.

They discipline pretty much the same way we do, but they're also getting
older and their health isn't the greatest, so she was a real drain on their
energy, especially with her bad behavior. I don't blame them; if her
behavior has been waring us down, I can only imagine what it was doing to
them at their age and with their health.
