I don't think I'm doing a very good job at this motherhood thing.
My patience wears thin easily. And I yell at Nadya too frequently for my own liking. I admonish her for many things. Too much for my own liking. Am I stifling her?
I catch myself sometimes but the impatience and accompanying annoyance creeps back almost immediately, when she does things she's told not to or when she launches into one of her tantrums and list of unreasonable demands.
What can I do to stop myself?
What can I do to make things better for her and myself?
Loosen up?
Let some things go?
Lower expectations and standards?
I have to keep trying and working at it.
I have to.
