Calming the Rage: How to Keep Mommin’ When Anger Creeps In

This year has been a real refining fire for me as a mom. We had a baby, so there were all the normal stresses that come along with that: sleep deprivation, constantly being behind on laundry and dishes, and the additions of a newborn and her stuff and need to nurse whenever we were planning to go anywhere. But this year, more than any other, I feel like God has been working on me to quit yelling at the kids so much. Has He been working on you too?

YOU’RE NOT ALONE.

In my house, we’ve been in the midst of potty training multiple kids and I’ve never been so (literally) surrounded by poop. I hate poop. I. HATE. IT. Cleaning poop from a newborn who’s breastfeeding? No prob Bob. But a two, three, or four-year-old who knows—and says (everyday)—that she should poop on the toilet, yet continues to stare at you blank-faced while she sits in front of you pooping her pants? That’s a whole other level of rage.
