Parenting has hit a whole new patch for me. My boys have become something else. Ok I should rephrase. One boy has grown to be wild, crazy, and all around different kid lately. The other... well that is how he has been since birth. I feel like I am drowing in this thing called parenting. All I did and knew before has seemed to leap out the window at the faintest sign of whine or tantrum.
Being constant... we are working on. Truth be told when we are out and about as a family I push my husband to be the discipliner and all around guy in charge. I handle them all day at home alone I guess I look at it as I need a break, and it's the turn to see daddy is in charge too. This doesn't always go over very well as he then thinks I am wanting him to take the role of babysitter. Not the case. We discipline differently too. It most certainly has to do with the way we were raised. But there has to be some middle ground to get our one boy back to how he used to be, and well to get the wild one unwild.
Our first born, a girl, has been such a dream child to raise. The boys make me question everything. Daily. We are most certainly in a rough patch in the parenting scheme of things right now. It's not fun that's for sure. Not fun for any of us. I just want them to grow, act, and speak with integrity and respect. Honor and a calm voice. I don't want there to be resentment from anyone due to someone's constant disruption. I see it happening and it's breaking my heart.
Ages 4 and 2.... Not so fun. I am praying this stage ends quickly and they grow out of this because this momma can't take much more.
