So the struggle lately is being a single parent household in a normally two parent household. Quick background on my parenting abilities. I was sure that God would bless me and my husband with girls. I know girls...I'm a girl...it made perfect sense.
Then came Lil W, not a girl...ok it's all good. I'll learn on the job and this will be fun. I was a tomboy as a little girl so this will work. Then 27 months later comes Lil A, which I was for sure was a girl...you get one of each right? Wrong...another boy. Ok...I've done it once this will work.
Fast forward 3 years, I'm a single parent because the Navy is leasing my hubby till later this year, and I'm near mental breakdown most nights. I have a very strong willed-old soul child and another who is hyper-sensitive...Wow my hands are full, full, full.
What do you do when you don't know what is 'normal' for boy behavior? What do you do when it seems like they don't listen to a word you say?
Well I pray a lot, and I email my husband alot. I realize that my job as their mom is a very important one, and I don't take that lightly...often times I think I take it too heavily. But all in all, I feel blessed to be their mom and blessed to have an outlet to share what I live through and experience.
What about you, are you a busy mama of strong-willed kiddos? Care to share your experiences or 'it's funny now' moments...
I know I'd like to hear 'em
