You always hear the statement âwords hurtâ âbe careful what you sayâ. As a mama we always try to encourage our children tell them that we Love them, tell them how great they are doing, and how proud we are of them and how they mean the world to us!
Today I wanted to talk to the real mamas who are goin stir crazy at home and may be saying other words that we may regret!
I know I have !!!Remember Iâm here to be transparent. Now my kids mean the world to me!!! They are my everything, and everyday I try so hard to keep a calm voice and give constant hugs and kisses. But there are days that they get on my LAST NERVE! In these time you may hear me say or yell…. âyouâve got to be kidding meâ âare you serious?â âmake another choiceâ, âyouâre driving me crazyâ âtry againâ, âyou better notâŠâ, âget over here nowâ, âyou didnât hear me the first timeâ, and âDonât make me countâ!
Now I am not proud of these moments AT ALL!! In these moments I sometimes cry, Iâve beat myself up because I know that my words can hurt my children! Because I know this it is sooooo important to apologize to them ( I know I know some of you are like… I am the adult I donât need to apologize to a child…)! But it is important to them and say âIâm sorryâ and that âIâm humanâ and âthat Iâm doing the best I canâ! I ask my children just to just give me a little bit of Grace.
***Remember we are raising adults!â âMonkey see monkey doâ
***Not physically but mentally***
Verse to share:
Proverbs 16:24
Our tough moments give us a chance to show our children we all make mistakes and we can repair them. Honor our mistake, acknowledge the impact, and make it right! Thanks Mama!
Words do hurt mentally. We always have to remember to build our kids up and not tear them down with what we say to them. Sometimes I just keep my mouth shut and breathe so that I don’t tell at them. Apologies are really important too. Thanks for the reminder.
Wow, Jen, so true. Yes, our children are human and have feelings too. We canât be too into being the parent that we canât say, âIâm sorryâ! Itâs so true that they can drive us to the end of our rope from time to time , but thatâs when we have to tie a knot and hang on because this too will pass.
You continue to amaze me! Iâm proud to be YOUR Mama!đđœâ€ïž
Wow! I literally had a moment like this yesterday. I find these moments happen a lot more when I am overwhelmed, or anxious or simply not at my best…my patience is at about 1/4 tank at 5 am and Iâm like âwhew chileeee.â Lol lol! You are so right about words hurting and going back to take responsibility for acting out of our negative, impulsive emotions! Thank you for your transparency! This is so good on today âŁïž
