[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 395775, member: 2423"] Daisy, this is not parenting for the faint-hearted. Most of us here need to practice a lot of self-care to get through the days. What that looks like for you may take some self-examination on your part. For me, self-care involves: medications to reduce stress Therapy to help me work with my kids, not against them Exercise Time carved out to do something nice for myself (read, meet a friend for lunch, etc) Enough sleep I hope you will take some time to think about some ways to reduce stress in your life. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
