Lately I've been worrying about my mothering skills. I know I do way too much for my children when it comes to self-maintenance and household chores. Also, my house is a mess and I'm wondering why I feel so low all the time? I've been introduced to a great book, "The Parenting Breakthrough" and have put some of the techniques to practice. One of the things that is a little annoying about my children is the amount of demands each day. "Mom, make me a sandwich!" What is that? I'm tired of being ordered around and it's time for Manners 101 at the Beckstead's. I completely blame myself for my lack of parental control. I realized the other day that if I don't get a grip soon, my children will be grown and it will be way too late to change anything.
Well.... here is an example of Morgan after her sandwich demand. Perfect time to teach her how to make her own sandwich! It did take 15 minutes to actually teach the task but I'm hoping it will help her and me in the long run. Although she had more miracle whip than turkey it was an amazing achievement! With a little help from "The Parenting Breakthrough" (thank you Kathleen), "Love and Logic" (thank you Melissa), flylady.com, and a lot of help from above I'm hoping my life will have a little peace. We can always hope right?
