I too often have nights where I go to bed in tears because of the way I treated my little babies. And every morning I pray to have patience and not lose control, but it seems that I struggle making it through breakfast without losing it. Although I love being a mother and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, it is indeed the hardest thing I've ever done. It definitely has brought out the worst in me...and I hope the best as well. I pray that my kids won't remember some of the things I say to them. Just two days ago I called my mom crying about how I'm the worst mom in the world. <br /><br />Anyway, I wish I had something positive to say, but I don't. I'm in a slump myself and I'm reading every toddler book out there right now to try to find something that works for me and my kids. I do appreciate your post though because I know I'm not alone! <br /><br />And from what MamaQ tells me, you're an awesome mom! Good luck with the "crazy" moments and know you're not alone!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09508030559528995222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782269058741241023.post-44899132266886772502010-04-01T20:47:09.669-04:002010-04-01T20:47:09.669-04:00good post. this thing called motherhood: it was t...good post. this thing called motherhood: it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. but luckily, i think we mostly remember the best. <br /><br />in relation to this and the newest post on potty training...it's kinda ironic, that after having a day like yours, i completely lost it on my 2 year old and his potty training efforts. (which weren't that bad really) i yelled and cried and ignored him, telling him i was mad at him the rest of the day (luckily his dad was home shortly after the strike) anyway...it really hit the poor guy, and he hasn't had an accident since! he keeps telling me how going in the potty make me happy. <br />shoot, it makes me sad to hear him say it. why in the world did i get so mad!? <br />somehow good results came of it...but i'm never planning on using that tactic again....eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10501182236730709263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782269058741241023.post-8604412855148957892010-04-01T15:47:21.284-04:002010-04-01T15:47:21.284-04:00Sorry you've been having some rough days and n...Sorry you've been having some rough days and nights, D. I also raised my voice with my two-month-old (you know, the little human who is practically an angel and is 100% reliant on me)when I had to put her in her crib four times before she actually stayed asleep FOR 10 HOURS. I think the important thing is that we recognize we shouldn't be yelling at our children and make efforts to be better. <br /><br />I'm glad you got out and saw snow angels. Why don't you let me babysit Lucy sometime? I don't think I ever have yet...<br /><br />And the post was very well written. Good job.MamaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881009388717157217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782269058741241023.post-19093995366918230572010-04-01T11:18:45.500-04:002010-04-01T11:18:45.500-04:00D-
