My friend takes them for the whole day and I go home and sit at my machine all day. Or sit on the floor and listen to creedence, or take a nap. They get away from grumpy old mama and I get to be alone. Then I'm refreshed and able to be the patient mother I want to be. The quote that lead to this arrangement? If your cup is empty you will have nothing with which to sustain your child. Maybe you need to fill up your cup Jill, mothers are taught that we have to sacrifice everything for our kids. But how are we supposed to make our children joyful when we aren't?violinwidowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09653092300943017358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557719621411312017.post-12472285434778723772011-06-10T01:08:41.710-04:002011-06-10T01:08:41.710-04:00heck yeah girl!!

Hang in there, you're not alone. If you're up for any ideas on discipline, I sometimes (not always) tell my kids they need to work out their problem cause if I have to cut in then they are both getting time out. It's amazing how many issues they resolve on their own. Also, with attitude I have adopted a no tolerance policy. As soon as the attitude shows up I remind them to change it or they will go to their room until it does. Take it or leave it hon. If you like, you can disregard it all.
