Yeah, it's possible - I've done it before, but definitely a good way to exhaust yourself! :) It works for now, with just the girls - I know the hubs wants another kid, we're waiting a bit though for that. :P

It is hard to discipline, but it's needed for sure, to just let kids know their boundaries of what is and what isn't allowed. I hate having to discipline, it breaks my heart whenever my kids cry. D: With tantrums, Becca is the queen of them. We let her just cry her way through them, not acknoledging her, so she doesn't associate us giving her attention with her tantrums, but oh my goddess... it breaks my heart every time. D:

Oh gosh, that is a HUGE no to me - and letting them just get away with it... *sighs* Parenting fails there! D:

Yeah, the rules are pretty simple - it's good to just make sure that you're aware so that nothing bad happens.
I have a baby sister who's pretty bad with tantrums too. She's a low functioning autistic though, so while she's in her early teens, she's pretty much akin to a roughly a 5 year old or so. She often also ignores us when we try to get her to do things. Ugh. I honestly blame my folks on this, as while my dad has tried to discipline her, my mom barely ever put that sort of effort in there. Then there's my dad's default position of yelling when she does something wrong. Authoritarians....
