Teachable Moment

Parenting. Truth bomb. . . I sat down to morning time the other day in a mood. The kind where you really just want to give up and go sit in your room. Send me to time out. I probably need to be there ALL morning ;) . They had been whining. Blaming each other. No one was responsible for their own problems. And I had just stated (strongly!) that we aren’t going to play the victims. Be in charge of ourselves and don’t blame others for how we act or feel. . . Then I said, “I don’t even want to do this. You guys are making me angry.” Then... She said, “You just said not to blame others. Now you’re acting like the victim.” . . Watch what you teach moms... Sometimes they actually do listen.
