You know it’s been a tough couple of days…
when your neighbor calls and asks if you know your 10 year old is laying on the front porch…in the middle of a snow storm.
Yup. We knew. He chose to stay out there for nearly half an hour…in his socks. Thankfully, he had his coat and his robe on. But no shoes. Hubby Person eventually had to go get him.
It’s been that kind of weekend.
My dad, step-mama, and lil’ sis are visiting, which has been wonderful. Unfortunately, Jeremiah has been tantrumming 75% of the waking hours. After a three hour long battle this afternoon, my daddy told his grandson that he will be leaving in the morning and would really like to spend some time with him, so to PLEASE do what he was supposed to. Jeremiah snapped out of it. We’ll see how things go tomorrow morning.
It’s been nerve racking for me to discipline my child with my daddy here. I want to do well in his eyes. I desperately want him to see me as a good mom.
I only slightly lost my temper today…but I did not yell…so that’s an improvement.
We’re having to invest in more locks and alarms. No fun.
Please be praying for us. And if any of you fantastic moms or dads would like to give any tips, especially on stealing and food issues, please do.
Blessings!
Hannah
