Set one boundary where you’re feeling drained.
I did this with one of my children today. I can’t say which one or specifically what, but I said no more and and I’m not moving. Boundaries are essential in relationships. People don’t think of them in regard to children that are young enough to still live under your roof, but that’s what rules are. This was a boundary, not a rule — some rules are boundaries, some are just rules. You know what rules are. Don’t run in the house. Clean up after yourself. Those are rules. Then there are actual boundaries. Curfews are rules and boundaries. Y’all know what I’m talking about.
