I think I have tons of patience and then I get around kids. You got to love them, but they make my anxiety shoot through the roof! Just in reading your previous posts I can see we both have that OCD/anxiety thing going on. I can only imagine what you're going through. I've been thinking about you guys tons and pray that it gets better for you soon...very soon. Hey, at least I can hope, right? On another note, I love the new pictures...they are so wonderful and I must say that I am quite jealous of the new camera. It's awesome...I love taking pictures but have never been "trained" to take them. It's one of those things on my list that I would love to do. Ok, I'm rambling on and you probably won't even have time to read this amidst the chaos. Sending thoughts your way....Heidi I’m with Jacki on this one, as I have no words of wisdom, and probably never will. I think I have tons of patience and then I get around kids.

Truthfully, you have a very well adjusted little boy that is frustrated and just hasn't figured out how to express himself, Properly.You do need to hang in there and rest assured that it gets better, but may get worse, first. Just stand your ground. Consistency is the key. You are the big person here. He may push till you want to give in but remember, the limits will just continue to stretch if you do. Better to be firm now, rather than later when he is a teenager. Isn't parenting grand!!<br/><br/>God plays a funny trick on us. He gives us these adorable little ones for a couple years...then they turn into monsters. By then you are so hooked on them and so in love, ya can't toss them out. :)<br/><br/>The sun will shine. <br/>Love,<br/>Aunt Jan Amen to that… Truthfully, you have a very well adjusted little boy that is frustrated and just hasn’t figured out how to express himself, Properly.You do need to hang in there and rest assured that it gets better, but may get worse, first.

(remember when yer at the end of your rope, just hang on and swing)We all go through it when the second child comes. Everyone has to adjust, and sometimes it takes a while. I once read that to a first born accepting another member to the family would be like a spouse wanting to add an additional spouse. He can't understand so much. It just takes time. And add your Mommy hormones to the mix. Just take one day at a time (unless they all gang up on ya). Step outside for fresh air, think positive thoughts...Don't trip over tryin to be super mom. It's not worth tryin to be cuz there's no such thing. I feel your pain but it's one of those things you get to go through and no one can really help you. It's great to vent and realize that all second time parents must go through this stage of parenting. You and (big) Kade know it gets better & better. I know it's so hard to watch (little) Kade go through it. However, you're building his character and he'll turn out just fine. :) Love, Val Hi Erika, Hang on.
