I Said No!

The testing "phase" continues. Both of the boys have taken to saying, "I said NO!" Coop will throw himself down to his knees, cross him arms and give a good pout. Bear will scream and run and headbutt my leg and wail, "I said noooooo!" all the while hitting my leg but trying to play it off like he's just trying to get my attention.

It's got me thinking- where is the line that shows respect for both parties involved? I mean really I hated as a child being told what to do, how and when to do whatever I was being told to do. I swore I would NEVER treat my children that way. Yet here I am saying the dreaded words, "You will respect me in my house!" Just feels like there has to be a better way to go about this. If you know of any good books or have any advice let me know!
