Sometimes I step outside of the situation and hear how I sound and realize I would pound on someone else if they talked to my child like that. It puts it in perspective for me.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14048243639634834643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340082987538484299.post-31391818788984707792012-01-26T22:33:50.902-06:002012-01-26T22:33:50.902-06:00Oh.

Then I realized my mistake and gave it to the other. <br /><br />*sigh* Bedtime tonight sucked. They were jumping on the bed. And... I said, "I'm not coming into cover you up later." ... later they wanted covered up. Ray had to go do it.... but tomorrow I will do better. Have more patience. Be better.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225291652604462660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340082987538484299.post-42091619779473688332012-01-26T20:13:13.204-06:002012-01-26T20:13:13.204-06:00I HATE bedtime here.

The day's activities have worn me out. <br /><br />Thank goodness that even when I screw up, there are still some things that I do right during the day.Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811697675090627618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340082987538484299.post-46377513737736579282012-01-26T17:28:06.130-06:002012-01-26T17:28:06.130-06:00GREAT post. almost all mom's can relate. and ...GREAT post. almost all mom's can relate. and if they say they can't-they are pretending. so good to remember. Bedtime is trying over in this house too...and you are right about if someone talked to US like we talk to our children sometimes-we might also act "out" if we aren't already. great post.

In this new year I hope to remember this often and remember that they are just kids. <br /> I so relate to your mood at bedtime. At our house, we have a set routine and my kids are super about it, really no problems BUT my kids also know that mama hits the witching hour if we push it too late. They have in fact verbalized this to G and G! <br />Thanks for your link to the blog. I look forward to reading it everyday and love seeing the teaching projects you are doing...sometimes very similar to ours :)<br />Natalienataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13071099488620613336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340082987538484299.post-57952033589781603002012-01-26T16:26:56.224-06:002012-01-26T16:26:56.224-06:00thank you so much for this post today.

But I too want to say that I apologized to my kiddos the other day also! I wasn't having the "best mom of the year day." And it really felt RIGHT & GOOD doing it after it was done! The Target example really was a great perspective; as it really drives me crazy when people act like that. And I can honestly say, I pretty much acted that way to my kiddos the other day! It is feels so good to SLOW DOWN! Thank you for this today....I really needed it as the week is winding down!MOMOF2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08121570581702068874noreply@blogger.com
