At 28 months, I have stretches of days where I find myself asking "who is this child?"<br /><br />It is amazing how the bad days come in clumps, too. We'll have a really terrible run of tantrums, disobedience and impatience for days and then POOF! She's a dream child for a week. I've just gotten to the point where I wake up every day and pray for a good one. And manage the best I can with the bad ones. I am not proud of myself for some of the days I've snapped or had to force her to do something because she absolutely refused to cooperate. <br /><br />Gives you a REAL appreciation for how the Lord must see us. You're doing great at this mom thing. All we can do is love them and raise them the way He wants us to. GOOD DAYS and BAD DAYS.<br />xoxoMazzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914742489846963185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806320202650405998.post-60021776096555079502011-07-16T01:48:03.139-05:002011-07-16T01:48:03.139-05:00Very nice, thanks for sharing.Very nice, thanks for sharing.rental mobilhttp://griyamobilkita.webs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806320202650405998.post-49676832475137997962011-07-15T10:01:06.946-05:002011-07-15T10:01:06.946-05:00Girl, you are the best Mommy to Amelia, and I’m su...Girl, you are the best Mommy to Amelia, and I’m sure on the hardest of days it’s easy to forget that, and just here to remind you of that today!! Sorry it was a rough day. I’m not a parent but I wouldn’t imagine that God uses the rough days to remind that you can’t do the parenting thing on your own.

I find myself almost in tears sometimes but I keep reminding myself that it is just a phase. That usually helps until the next melt down. <br /><br />The part I have the hardest time with is they can come out of no where over the smallest things..... It is like I walk around in fear wondering when the next one is coming.

I've been planning a blog post, but I just don't seem to have the energy or the time to actually write it. I know the kind of parent I want to be, but the reality is sometimes different.

Not to make excuses for our behavior, but He knows we are sinners raising sinners...we're going to mess up!
