It's getting harder you know... this parenting business. When they were babies my frustration was simply lack of communication. "If you could only
tell me what you need or want I will gladly get it for you!"
Now they can tell me
exactly what they need or want. Oh no, no, no.. that is definitely
not the problem anymore.
I've decided it all comes down to teaching self control. Controlling one's thoughts and words and actions seems to be the key. But before I can teach it, I have to actually do it myself.
Heaven help me!! 
The deeper I get into this parenting business, the more convinced I am that being a parent has less to do with raising
them and much more to do with becoming a grown-up myself.
