Hello everyone,
Sorry that it has been so long. I guess I haven't been thinking of too much to say.
My topic today is 'when a mom loses her cool' because I lost my cool yesterday. Screaming, yelling, a little name calling, etc. I am very much ashamed of myself. I have one of those teenage daughters. She is a wonderful young lady except when she is stressed, as we all can get. I don't always remember to just let her vent. Instead I take her anger to heart and bite back. As a mom I don't believe that I should do that. I should be in control of myself. If I can't show my daughter, and my teenage son, that I can keep my cool no matter what is being thrown at me then how can I expect them too? I can't. A child learns from their surroundings and that's just a fact of life. A fact that I need to try harder to remember whenever I am faced with the decision to either keep it together or explode all over the place. Sometimes it's hard though, as most parents would admit. Sometimes it's hard to sit there and let your child complain, complain, complain and not put in your own two-cents, which almost always turns things more ugly in my household. Well, I suppose I am going to sign off. I will try to get on here more often. I hope you all have a blessed day. Take care and God bless.
Love,
nmCarey
