Some children don't seem to "get it" as well as others. I'm not very patient. Instead of realizing they were disobedient, lazy, or wrong they think they are just unlucky to have a mom that disciplines and lectures them. I feel so mad lately and I need to destroy these feelings. If they choose the wrong I need to still be loving and kind. Yes, consequences must still be given, but they can be given gently, sympathetically, without angry lectures, and with love. What they choose cannot dictate my feelings. Only love. I need to focus on all the good they do, play more with them, listen more, and pray more for help and self-discipline. I Pray the Lord will forgive me and help me to "get it" myself.
