Once again..ugh...Maybe i wasn't cut out to be a mom. the day can be so lovely then drama explodes. I picked up the book Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline. I think I need to read it again.
The first thing in the book is a poem...
A wonderful woman who lived in a shoe
Had so many children,
And knew exactly what to do.
She held them,
She rocked them,
She tucked them in bed,
"I love you, I love you"
Is what she said.

The very first paragraph asks if you have ever punished your child and then felt guilty about it? The author says she wrote the book to help me change my behavior!
"Once you model self control for your children , they will show better self control than you could ever imagine they could achieve."
Yes, my child's attitude was horrid. Yes, he made awful choices...yes, i think at times he wants me to go crazy. Yes, he is a wonderful kid with an amazing heart, he is helpful and sweet and loving and kind. Yes, he spent years in an orphanage with no parents to teach him right from wrong. Yes, he's hurting and only God knows what's truly in his heart and what damage was done.
He deserves better than me....but God chose him for our family...so God...HELP!!
