No matter what we have to go through as moms, it makes it all worth it when they look at you and say " I love you mom!" We need to stay strong through the hard days, the days we want to go back to bed so we can have these days. The day they want to come and lay in your arms and cuddle. Snuggle up with a blanket and just be with you. When in the "hard " moment I know you can easily forget that smiling loving face that just hours ago was laughing with you, now they are fighting with each other and screaming. Take a breath, and calmly put them in time out! I know, trust me I have done it plenty, it is hard to be calm and just yell at the. But , by accident I want you to know I am not perfect and all knowing, I found that when you talk calm and in a low voice they stop and look at you as if they was not what they were working towards. It works, call me crazy but it works. The days I for get to do that I am so ready for bed time at 6pm, but when I stay calm to follow. They just want to please us, even thought it doesn't seem like it they do. Give it a try and see how it works. They may just get a new mommy!
I feel better now that I stay calm, remember happy mom happy home. So true. We set the tone for our house hold, so lets give them something to take into life with them.
Now in all honesty I have to give my husband credit for teaching me this. He is a calm person naturally and nothing ruffles his feathers, use to drive me crazy, but now I try to be more like it.
