There are times when I wonder why I can't be the one to throw a tantrum, just for once. (And sometimes I do, but I hope they're shorter, anyway, than the kids').

My Spot is precocious in only this one area -- her Terrible Twos are starting about 4 months early.

Best way to feel better about one's own kids is to watch someone else's for awhile. I find this helps me have much happier thoughts about my own life. :)

The need for patience will never go away as we raise our children. Oh, I know it is so hard. I have learned to put myself in time out at times (or walk out of a store, church, etc.). Even at my oldest child's age of 12 I find my need for patience increasing as the challenges in his life become greater with age. Hang on, pray, and know that God enables us to handle every day, every challenge with the grace he so freely gives.

We mothers are never alone, even when we feel our lonliest.

Marianne - at my absolute wit's end with not knowing what to do with my biggest little man's crazy and wild and crazy and wild and terrible behavior lately. Is this really happening? What HAPPENED to my sweet boy? Is he gone forever? At. My. Wit's. End. Today I so needed to know that someone else is feeling and experiencing what I am - so thank you for your brutal honesty and for just being real. Tremendous. :)
