I thought I was a pretty patient person until I had kids. I am not blaming the kids, to be clear. My first child was the easiest baby ever and I guess I got a little big-headed thinking that I could handle a whole gaggle of kids easily! Then #2 arrived, like a tornado. She is fiery, fierce and loves harder than anyone, but boy-oh-boy does she test my patience. I then realized that I had a lot to learn and these beautiful babies of mine were here to teach me. I just have to remember that and take lots of deep breaths! :-)
Oh, motherhood is a patience tester for sure! I was inspired to write this today because of my impatience with my baby girl this morning. I hardly slept and I got frustrated and lost my patience. It wasn't the first time and won't be last, but it made me realize that I need to work a lot harder. I made a conscious decision today to be better! My sweet girl didn't do it to frustrate me! She is teething and needs me and these moments are so precious. I know being a mom is exactly what my heart needed to grow into a better person. These little humans have my heart. ❤️
Exactly! That is so true. So, will you be at the meetup tomorrow? I'm bringing my whole family (kids ages 11, 8, 5 & 2). Gringalicious mentioned there might be some kids close in age. Looking forward to meeting some Steemians in person!
Yes, I will see you there! Woohoo for Steemit meetups! 😁
