I agree. I used the word misbehave in the context that the onlookers seemed to consider it misbehaviour, which puts pressure on me to want to control it more.

I maybe should have put quotation marks around 'misbehave' to make myself clearer.

That is such a great point and something I think all parents need to remember.

I'm printing that out and taping it to my fridge to remind myself of that on a daily basis when things get a little nutty around here. :
