Seriously recovering from addiction and conquering sticker charts/time outs/behavior problems are equally as hard, and I am not kidding!!! <br /><br />I think the pressure that we put on ourselves is too much. Having temper tantrums and being loud and being defiant does not mean that they are going to grow up to be lazy non-contributing members of society as I fear so often!!!! That is just me projecting my fear of "failing" this whole parenting thing onto them which makes us all crazier!<br /><br />You have told me time and time again, that just by loving them and trying to do our best for them has to be enough sometimes! As long as we don't kill them in the process we will have succeeded! <br /><br />I'm sure your gentle, kind, loving supportive mom will have incredible words of wisdom about this post (and I really look forward to hearing them), <br /><br />But when all else fails, remember my take-no-shit, hard ass mother's advice: "No Matter what we do and what our intentions are, we will still manage to F them up somehow, so quit stressing so much!"

As a mother of 3 in 15 months the most important lesson I learned was DO NOT PUT ANYTHING IN WRITING - therefore no evidence to the contrary!!
