So it started off with everyone bickering, then my 10 yr old got really mad about math, life, etc and “ran away” (or at least into the woods, thank God that was it and I handled that really good), then the bickering started all over, yelling, hitting, not feeling involved, and here it’s only 10:30, my kids are only doing 1 sentence in Jr AG and one math page that took 1 1/2 hrs. (that was a long sentence.. see I’m off)
Then mom BLEW IT! I yelled, screamed, kicked things, put 2 in the corner, all in anger….confession is tough. Then I picked up my mess, calmed down and asked for forgiveness totally in tears. My heart was all wrong, my values all mixed up, and I need to ask them for major forgivness.
I know I’m not alone, there have been times like this for everyone, but why when it happens does it feel like you’re all alone, you’re the only one who does it, that you’re the worst person in the world. Satan.. that’s why. So while I’m on my knees today in prayer and asking God to forgive me I’d like to ask that you also hold me and all the other parents who lost it today in your prayers, cause I know I’m not alone.
Thanks for listening to me vent, cry and ask for forgiveness from both my children and the Lord. Nap time today will be a time of healing and prayer. Love to everyone else who’s day’s not going well. Misty
Oh, sweetie, it’s OK. You’re right. We all have days like that. Some of us more than others.
I admit, I have days like this, and I have to beg for forgiveness from God, my kids, and dh, too. We will learn, with God’s help and healing. I’ll be praying for you all today. (((hugs)))I know what you mean. We’re having one of those days right now. It happens almost every day during math because I want him to write the answers instead of picking the answer off a page of stickers. I thought I could compromise by using some stickers and requiring some writing, but he refused to write even one number until I threatened to make him write a whole page of just that one number. He said he hated the number 5! Today it happened with writing, too. It really gets bad when I tell him he has to finish. I’m of the mindset that if I let him quit, he’s won, and won’t do his work next time. He just left the kitchen table w/o finishing his writing. I don’t know if I should force him to continue, especially since the little he’s done isn’t his best work.
What really gets me is when he sits there and laughs at me when I tell him to do his work or I’m disciplining him. That’s when I’m really tempted to put him in school and let someone else deal with him.
Your right, Misty, we do feel alone when that happens!
It encouraged me so much to jump on here today and see this message and know that I wasn’t. We are having a very difficult day too-kids not finishing work, disobeying, arguing, interrupting others, etc……….. Combined with a severe lack of sleep on my part (15 month old doesn’t eat well due to health stuff and therefore doesn’t sleep well).
I really feel like packing the whole lot of them off to school!
Praying here! -Rebecca
Misty, I am saying a prayer for you right now!……….
I hope your prayer time today was an encouragement and a fresh start for you…that makes all the difference for us if we are having an off day. (well, any day for that matter!)
Hug! ((()))

My 5 yo dd, the drama queen of the crew, had a day today. A list of reasons she cried today: didn’t want to get dressed, mad that I ended up picking her clothes out after she refused to get dressed, mad about what I picked out, mad her pants had spit on them (hers, b/c she was so mad), mad she had to make her bed, mad she couldn’t have McD’s with g-pa after her behavior, mad I bumped into her when I opened the door, mad I wouldn’t let her brush her own teeth, mad when she hit her head on the faucet when she spit angrily into the sink, mad she couldn’t get back into the pool till she appologized to the sitter for not listening (took 38 minutes!), mad, mad, mad. I had been trying Charlotte’s method of trying to change her thought pattern and we had been doing good with that but not so much today. After the first five fits I cannot handle being calm and talk her into thinking about happy things, especially with the rest of our lives to live. She is my stubborn one and we are working on changing and strengthening her will but man is it hard. Keep hanging in there. Thanks for your confession, I am with you today. She did make me laugh though (her other gift!) . I hear her calling for me and I walk into the bathroom to see her on the toilet covered with bubbles from her bath. She couldn’t figure out how to get the toilet paper or how to wipe b/c she was a marshmellow! Anyway, praying for an easier day for all of us! God Bless!
