Move your meat ....lose your seat

Like life with four small children isn't wild and crazy enough....It seems our world now revolves around who sits where and the others wanting the one seat they aren't in....why one seat is more wonderful than any where else is beyond me, but for the four Barton children who sits where is all the buzz....from sitting arrangements in the family room to the dinning room table to the car....I know I can think of a ton more things to quarrel about than seating arrangements....but the real fighting doesn't begin until one person gets up to do something and they return to find one of their siblings in their prized spot....Now I grew up with only one sibling and don't really recall any earth shattering battle cries over seating, but our wise patriarch Jared who grew up in a large family was quick to establish the law of who sits where....as he so eloquently put it...." move your meat, lose your seat!!" who can argue with that....

We deal with the same thing! We now have a system where the kids rotate seats once a week, so everyone gets a turn. However we still have the fighting! Good Luck!
