I'm still back at "relax a bit". So what you're saying, is before I get to resolving conflicts, ect., I need to take a cruise. I'll let my own hottie husband know. Is that in the book as well?campbell6https://www.blogger.com/profile/02461362343545571104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-64577328979941721282010-02-04T06:37:42.304-08:002010-02-04T06:37:42.304-08:00You are right on.

That was such a hard time in my life, and looking back, I wish I had a do over button. I was on survival mode. Thanks for sharing, I just might go get that book for dealing with those kids, who are now teenagers and the 3 others I have now. I find it hard to not yell, and I don't want to yell.<br />Thanks for a great enlightening post!!!mommyof6https://www.blogger.com/profile/06721490111222697169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-68778129872597157972010-02-03T22:20:00.080-08:002010-02-03T22:20:00.080-08:00Are you writing specifically to me?!?

I feel like my oldest (just turned 4) only listens if I yell or become more "hands on" with him. Granted...he has been through more change and still more change in his wee little life...and I know that having daddy deployed doesn't help the situation (for him or me!) but it sure is easy to escalate and think it is the only way to get results. <br /><br />Will get the book. I love reading this kind of stuff!

My son does a pretty good job of keeping me in check though because whenever I yell he looks at me completely serious and says, "Mommy, you're not supposed to yell at me because it isn't kind. I forgive you and I love you. Are you going to be nice to me now?" Ah, I love children! :)Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16599827211240432627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-61317325865838762852010-02-03T18:52:00.443-08:002010-02-03T18:52:00.443-08:00I can so relate!

I still struggle with having the "perfect" family and I sometimes set such high standards that I can't help but be disappointed and feel like a failure.
