The Reality of Parenting: Solidarity in the Struggle

You aren’t the only one… I just had a screaming match with a kid. Sent another one to her room. Had silence when we didn’t want to talk. And I’m done. . Despite the happy-little, always-sunny families that seem pervasive in this space, that’s not the reality. So when you feel you’re the only one yelling before Bible reading; or sitting them in front of the TV so Mom can put herself in time out, you’re not the only one. . When morning time together ends in multiple tears and you think this is everyone else’s peaceful moment, you’re not the only one. . Deep breathe. And remember the roots. At least we have the only 99.5% of our days with them show them love and acceptance and to try to make into our peace. Or 90% or 70%… Or… . Solidarity. This is real life. Being together all day is hard.❤️
