I totally HATE to admit that I get angry as a mommy…but I do. It’s an area I struggle with and often feel unequipped to improve. There have been a few seasons in my mommy-life when I have been angry with the kids ever day {you can read about that more HERE}. Ugly moments that I’m not proud of. I hate the way my anger has made my kids feel and I pray that they remember it as something that only happened from time to time. I try not to take myself too seriously but gosh it’s hard when your regrets and struggles affect your kids.
A few years ago I read a book that had some great tools in it for dealing with anger. I want to read it again. My angry-mommy moments are rare in this season but I think it is always good to keep working towards my goal of being a patient and gentle mommy.
Anger may not be a struggle for you, but if it is I think you will like this book. Check it out:
