Pamela H in Texas Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Just thought I'd let you know that today has been 100 times better. The main difference has been that I am DETERMINED not to let their behavior get to me. However, one thing I'm doing to make that easier is keeping things VERY light by giving them a billion choices (big, little, silly, weird) ala Love and Logic Magic. I have struggled a little with the sourness of one kid. I keep plugging along though and it seemed to lighten his mood until a few minutes ago. He ended up with a consequence (play away from sibling) and is pouting. It is stressing me a little; but I'm holding my tongue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2myboys Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 So glad that things are going better today. :grouphug: It is not easy being a parent, that is for sure. I hope that things will continue to improve for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariannNOVA Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm glad that things are better - I did read your thread yesterday but I truly didn't know what to offer -- I did keep you in my thoughts -- I hate when days are like that. You know, we are never going to have all good days -- it's always going to be up and down. Glad today is better for you.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie in Ma Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Good for you, hang in there. As my Mom is fond of saying, "it's a marathon, not a sprint." It takes time to change behavior, especially our own. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
