Slipping?  6 boys in my home for a period of time can be challenging.  I love them dearly but also see their good and their bad points.  Running around the house, jumping on furniture makes me think they lack training of respect for others property and don’t take care of their own.  As they age you would expect to see them doing chores or at least picking up their own things.  Yes raising boys and girls are different but the respect that should be in each child is lacking to some degree.  I feel I’m pretty easy going but my things and my home have taken many years and many dollars to have what I have now and don’t expect the boys to damage it and disrespect it.
