Welcome to the Bates family blog! Gil and Kelly have been married since 1987 and have nineteen children. Twelve of their children have been married. They have thirty-two grandchildren with one on the way due June 2025. They have four children and eight grandchildren in heaven.
I agree with Gil and Kelly on this one-"be quiet" is better than "shut up". Depending on the method of communication, you can really discourage someone from being around you by telling them to shut up! Speaking from experience, it can really be damaging to your child when referring to shut up-even if your intentions were innocent!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gil and Kelly. Be quiet is much better than shut up. Communication is everything; and, when you communicate roughly to your kids or younger siblings, they'll eventually pick it up too!
