I love all 4 of my children so much but I get so angry sometimes I also suffer from depression and a (young mother 17yrs my first was born) but by God's grace and forgiveness and a change in what I eat my depression is better. I found that alot of my anger came from my own selfishness too. Ouch that still hurts but now with my change of how I see my children they are blessings and not burdens beautiful little people with hearts of gold. Also great teachers to me on how to died to myself and wash their little feet :0) I am grateful to have this season of my life and wouldn't change it for anything I have learnt so... much and gain much wisdom! I know that I will still "lose it" from time to time BUT now I know I have a different choice then to hit out of anger or throw things, screaming into a pillow is good :0) But the one thing I NEVER forget to do is say I am SORRY and ask them for their forgiveness most of the time I am crying like a baby and let them know that it is NOT their fault and that I love them. Just thank you again always need that reminder :0) He gentle leads those that have young.... WOW I needed to hear that again.

I found your blog through Rocks in My Dryer. Anyhow, just wanted to let you know what a God-send this post was for me in my hour of parental discouragement. :) You have no idea how badly I needed to read this today.

I struggle with anger sometimes. Its great that you have women in your life who are willing to be honest. I have a book recommendation for the others who have commented on this post. Its called "She's Gonna Blow" by Julie Barnhill. Christian author. It discusses momma anger. Thanks for this great post. I struggle with anger sometimes.

While we all need that sort of honesty and assurance that things will be okay, I don't think there's anywhere it makes more of a difference than in the Christian world. The pressure that faith should make us immune to the usual frustrations and mistakes is a pressure keenly felt. I read Anne Lamott's Operating Instructions whenever I need a reminder (or a really hard laugh). Excellent post!

None of us are perfect. David was quick to repent. The main thing is to not damage our children psychologically nor harm them physically. Don't spank in red hot anger. Wait 'til you've cooled off and then administer the rod of knowledge to the seat of understanding. Don't forget to remind why you are doing it. I always worked for me. I've broken something too. I slammed the newest porcelain doll I had bought for my only girl (she was 14 then, 25 now) onto the dresser where it stood and broke it's leg. Then I cried and apologized. Still has that leg in a crystal dish in the hutch. Definitely a need in our churches for the elder to teach the younger, pulling out all stops. The world in looking for real people, not super-people that only make others feel guilty about their shortcomings. And that it not of God. Great post! ‘There is therefore no condemnation…” .

I have been so encouraged by talking with older ladies in my church, about how God provided for them, and they made it through five children without even a changing table, etc... it is so important to learn from older mentors who have been there! :) Thanks for your encouraging post!
