Why the heck is is with me I either have TOO much Patience or not enough. It is like I can't find the middle ground. My middle child is so trying what little patience I have this week and I honestly wanna just RUN. I've broke myself from that habit after having kids cause I knew I could just run out the door and not look back, I had to face my problems and that is when I began just sitting in my closet in the dark for like 30 mins once my husband got home and I couldn't take it any longer. This week my 3 year old has pushed me to edge and I'm stressed and tense it isn't funny. I don't know how to find patience. I try to tell my self I'm going to be more patience and I even set some goals/promises for myself and stuck them to the mirror. Yeah that didn't work. its kind of like writing memos on your hand only to not look at and remember to do it. lol I have said things I wish I could beat myself for cause they aren't true only come out of anger. and thankfully she is only 3 and will never remember them as long as I can get myself under control. But I'm so stressed my chest hurts at times and I think i'm having a heart attack at 25 years old. :( then wen I loose my patience and yell or say mean things I just feel awful and wanna cry. I ask myself why I can't be a good mom like they deserve, even though I don't think I'm a bad mom, I just want better for them. I want one of those perfect moms that sits and plays with the kids all day long, and takes them places or has no problems with them when it comes to eating and so on. you know those mom's you see in movies. lol I mean I keep the house clean, 3 meals a day, clean clothes, kids bathed and healthy and so on. and they get family time too. I grant you it may not be what they want or even what I want but we do spend time together.
I just want and NEED patience, any tips on to deal.

I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now. I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed. So many bad things have happened since my mom passed. One thing after another it seems. Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up. Thank...

Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...
Young children can be trying for sure.. They're takers and parents need to give and give as is the nature of the beast...
Do you need a med tweak due to the agitation or anxiety you're experiencing??
Perhaps parenting classes could help?
Don't think for a minute though that this won't effect her because 'she can't remember' .. The informative years are 1 through 5.. Her personality is being formed now.... What she's living today will dictate her tomorrows at least to an extent..
Therapy can help you a great deal as well..
Take a deep breath and have a nice hot bath..
