I need to be more present and have more patience. I have the summer to learn...maternity leave starts on Thursday!
-
ha before i even read your answer and clicked on the thread, those two things were the exact same things i was thinking in my head!
-
@autumnlove: ditto to you and @Mrs. Bee:!
-
Definitely put the phone down and be more present.
-
I need to leave the house more with the kids!
-
more patient. need to get out of the house more.
-
Pretty sure that's on every parents improvement list!
Currently for G: Showing him more respect! He's going to be a man soon enough & how I respect him will foreshadow what kind of respect he'll expect from others.... Specifically his future wife!
P: She's still little enough that her cuteness covers all! Lol
-
Being more present is something I'm working on too. Also, not over thinking things!
-
I need to be more proactive instead of reactive, I think this will help with my patience
-
I need to get better at fitting new things into our schedule. Right now it's solid food meals, but I'm sure there will be all sorts of other challenges down the road. Once we get into a routine that works, I have a hard time making changes.
-
More patience. And stop crying so much when she is crying.
-
More patience and creativity.

I think I have learned to be immensely patient...I was such an impatient person before her! So I'm glad that little improvement kicked in! But I wish I could blow off the stupid things that don't matter in life, and not let it cloud my time with her. Like work. At the end of the day, work troubles are just so trivial. She is what matters. I looked at her beautiful face in the dark after she fell asleep tonight in my arms and I just thought, "Why do I stress about dumb shiz? I've got all that really matters RIGHT HERE."
-
Patience and presence, fo sho.
-
@autumnlove: Ditto to what you said. I also need to work on not yelling.
I'm doing the Orange Rhino No-Yell 30 Day Challenge... I started today.
