We used to do that on a weekly basis Coyote, unfortunately it didn't suit us for long as Joe wasn't comfortable with it, he said it was too much like the social services meetings he'd had to attend with his dad. (I guess my work background contributed to that)
Now I just do my best to make sure all the kids know their opinions are valid and their problems are shared between all of us., if theres something major bothering one of them we all sit down together and work it out, but as the responsible adult I have the casting vote and the final say, but I always give a valid reason for my decisions.
