I get furious when my daughter doesn't listen to me. And she's been not listening to me often lately. I am at my ropes end.....but what I am really here for is how to be more gentle with her when I am infuriated? Any suggestions please?

Oh boy Ive been down this road a thousand times with my four kids. One thing I always did was apologize to my kids if I overreacted to their bad behavior. Although this did not excuse them or get them off of punishments etc.
There were days when I had to suck it up and realize that I was being a bad mom and that was that. I was acting like a nut job. Its painful stuff at times.
I still struggle with it but mainly on certain times of the month. I now keep a calender with it clearly marked for my family members as well as for myself. It helps.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
