I'm very patient. But I think everyone has their limits, especially with their kids. I just try to take a deep breath when that happens. Usually when I do that, LO will copy me and take a deep breath too, which always makes me giggle

I always thought I was very patient, but having 2 kids has really tested me. Getting out the door in the morning to work requires a heroic effort every day. I do snap, and that's when DH says "uh oh, guys, do what you're told, Mama's mad".

@mrbee: I'm the same way! I always considered myself a patient person until I had kids.

I'm very patient, and moreso with DS. But he can sap it quicker than anyone else...when he's being really fussy and nothing I do soothes him. I've had to leave him in a safe place and leave the room and regroup for a few minutes more times than I'd care to admit.

I was moderately patient but four kids is enough to tear anyone's limits. So there are times when I loose it. Three little three year olds testing their boundaries is often my undoing.
