An Excellent Reminder
January 21, 2010I read quite a few different mommy blogs, and I get a little something out of each one – humor, kinship, understanding, respect, sympathy, etc. This mommy blogger has a pretty impressive story riddled with more ups and downs than I can even imagine. All of her posts are good reading, but this one in particular hit the nail on the head so to speak.
It’s an excellent reminder about why we should be more patient with our children. I know that the day-to-day chores often raise my stress levels at the end of the day when I’m trying to juggle cleaning, cooking, bathing, bedtime, laundry and anything else that might come up along with cuddling, playing, refereeing, and trying to catch up with my husband on his day. But McMama’s words keep coming back to me, and lately I’ve been letting the chores wait for a bit while I enjoy a few more minutes with my kids. It doesn’t help with my stress levels later in the evening, but it sure is a whole lot more fun to enjoy my kids while they actually want me to spend time with them…
