Lately, I have had a rough go of it with my kids. My patience with them is at an all time low and I honestly don't know why.
They aren't really doing anything out of the norm for 4 year olds and a 2 year old.
-they don't listen
-they are constantly telling ME how it's going to be
-they insist on NOT eating the dinner I have slaved over
-they refuse to talk in an inside voice
-they will not stop using the couches as pommel horses
These things are all normal...right??
I know, that I need to step back and be thankful for their health and for the fact that they are at my feet driving me nuts as I know other mother's who would do anything to have their kids at their feet. I want so badly to have a happy house where there isn't constant contention but I am failing miserably at this.
Seriously, are my expectations just too great? Am I living in a fuzzy reality again?
I need to chill out and can figure out how to stop the fighting, the yelling, etc.
I'm at a loss. So until I figure it out, I guess I will just hold on for dear life!

Haha, funny, James!
Sooo, you are allowed to have these days. You are not alone, and you aren't expecting too much.
I just finished reading 1-2-3 Magic and am using it with my 2 year old almost 3 Addie. Using it with my 5 year old too, but she needs it less. It's working.
And my limited time with them has been spend less on discipline more on fun. YAY!
I was starving for a new "tool" or a new "plan". It's good, and EASY, stuff. Got through it in about a week on the bus.
