I call Matt a "stinker" all the time, and he really can be one, right? Guess it's time for some new names!Brittneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584468699436724503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5236391413401456996.post-42470883775536422482013-02-12T09:40:12.772-07:002013-02-12T09:40:12.772-07:00i sadly am one of "those" moms. i admit...i sadly am one of "those" moms. i admit it. i am not proud of it. i actually struggle with it every day. I have a temper and with that comes words out of my mouth without thinking...just said so quickly because i am frustrated and overwhelmed. I cried after reading this. why? because i know it hurts them, and i know it cuts them down. but it is such a hard habit to break. i always tell brad that i feel like i am ruining these kids we have. i read my scriptures, i go to the tmple and i pray...but satan still finds this little door that i let open...somehow. It truly is that hardest thing for me. Thank you for your words and your example. I will try to not be one of "those" moms. I try every day and feel guilt most of the time because i can't pull through. I must try harder, because i want my kids to know how much i do love them and want them to be successful! thank you again for the inspirational words and cross your fingers for me! I always tell people that my sisters have challenges with the gospel but i truly have a firm belief in the gospel...it's easy for me. so easy. i just can't see my life without it and i treasure it. My challenge is EVERYDAY, trying to be a patient loving mother who can speak kind words. i feel like i am sending mixed messages to my kids. i love the gospel, i believe in christ and all of his attributes, yet my actions are very contentious and angry. I will try and thank you again, for the reminder.jenniehttp://www.bj711.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5236391413401456996.post-88123729598382965982013-02-11T22:07:16.101-07:002013-02-11T22:07:16.101-07:00Oh! Here, here! I know people who CONSTANTLY call ...Oh! Here, here! I know people who CONSTANTLY call their children naughty, brats, etc. And, first of all, it breaks my heart. Is that what you really think of your precious children?! Second of all, in my field of study, we work primarily with children, so I've learned a TON about child development. There was a study that has shown that children whose parents talk about them in a positive way (in front of them or not!) turn out far better adjusted, and with better opinions of themselves, than children with parents who talk about them negatively (again, in front of them or not!). No big surprise there.C/Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658722244287607687noreply@blogger.com
