Well actually, I AM ...oh girl, I've been there. Well actually, I AM there. A lot of days I feel like I'm just not cut out for being a stay-at-home mom. It's natural to get frustrated (even though we love them so much). Just think of this as a sign that you need to give yourself a personal day!LEOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09484533116463797465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678671341796735502.post-4956190647761581662009-12-29T19:49:39.516-08:002009-12-29T19:49:39.516-08:00Over Christmas, my friend's three-year old had...Over Christmas, my friend's three-year old had a complete screaming banshee meltdown b/c he wasn't allowed to cut his own pieces of cheddar cheese with a sharp knife. Mid-tantrum, he picked up all of the just-cut pieces and threw them on the ground yelling "I don't want this old cheese!" <br /><br />Don't be too hard on yourself.

Obviously people with a lot more patience than me. My brother-in-law was a stay at home dad, and now he teaches middle school. I think he might be up for sainthood. Also, it's not just the bad days with the screaming, but the constant demand for attention. Okay, we've read this same book 1400 times today, maybe we want to read a different one? No? Mommy needs a drink now. <br /><br />Oh well, I guess you might say the same thing about some of my clients.
