One minute I'll be fine and then the next minute I find myself through the roof (in my head - not to LO of course!) so I need to walk away as I don't want yell or exacerbate the situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-i-could-improve-one-thing-about-myself#post-897842 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 09:13:27 +0000 Bookish 897842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Patience with other people's kids... :p I really hope I'm more patient with my own, because dealing with other children (other than my nieces and nephews) drives me up the wall pretty quickly. Terrible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-i-could-improve-one-thing-about-myself#post-897813 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 09:07:39 +0000 Lindsay05 897813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can relate. Last night LO was fussy waiting for supper and I really turned miserable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-i-could-improve-one-thing-about-myself#post-897803 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 09:04:53 +0000 2PeasinaPod 897803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can certainly relate. I get frustrated too often and it reminds me of my mom. She's the last person I want to become! </p> <p>For me though, it would have to be my memory. It has gone to hell ever since I got pregnant with LO. I wish I could just remember the thing my DH told me 5 seconds ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-i-could-improve-one-thing-about-myself#post-897789 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 09:00:44 +0000 looch 897789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can! I never had patience, so it's not new territory for me, but I am always stunned at how stressed I get when my son is testing the limits.</p> <p>I also can not stand total disorganization, mess and noise. I was at my cousin's place with 4 kids, Harry Potter on full blast in the living room and bowls of popcorn all over the floor, for a total of 20 minutes yesterday before I had to seek refuge outside! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-i-could-improve-one-thing-about-myself#post-897782 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 08:58:20 +0000 rsp213 897782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would be to have more patience with L! It sort of comes as a shock to me that I don't have as much patience as I thought I would before becoming a parent.</p> <p>L is so sweet and smart but she's also testing every boundary she can (terrible twos!) and this weekend was filled with timeouts and Mama walking away to calm down and regain her patience.</p> <p>Anyone else relate? Or anyone else want to share what they hope to improve about themselves as a parent? </p>
