It is amazing how a natural smile always looks best, my kids are being silly and making me laugh. Before this happy moment they were yelling, fighting, and driving me nuts. I really want them to work things out on their own, and of course it depends on the situation. I do find that at night when they are tired they get extra whiny, teary, and super dramatic. Just what a parent needs after a long day, how do you deal with it?
I cannot tell you what my breaking point is for every situation, but when I cannot reason, talk my way out of it, and want to start yelling, I call in the reinforcements, my husband is the law, I am the mediator. Sometimes my buttons really get pushed, and I cannot understand why a person (aka my child) would be so mean, go so nuts, not be nice to me after a long day.
Many people know me as their Yoga teacher and they see a calm, balanced person. I am that person when I teach, but as soon as I walk back into reality, my buttons can definitely be pushed. Luckily teaching Yoga for 15 years has calmed me down overall, and taught me to react in a calmer manner. Then throw marriage and kids into the mix, and everything gets shaken up. Being under the weather makes everything even more interesting.
Yesterday all our plans changed and luckily I felt a little better, I took my oldest son to a Bar Mitzva, I really wanted him to have the experience. I know he felt good about being with older kids instead of always having to do what his younger sister and brother want.
Day By Day,
Thank God For Our Kind Of Problems,
