The tantrums have been rough these days.
I feel like I am in a battle.
I know be firm, stand your ground, but it is emotionally breaking me.
I anticipated the teenage years to be emotional draining,
but I figured I would be wiser by then...
I never thought the psychological warfare would begin at age 4.
Am I doing it wrong?
Could this possibly be normal?
I know I am the boss, but the constant crying and carrying on is brutal.
I thought if you were firm they would learn it doesn't work.
I am not giving in...
but we are still here....
Quint is still raging...
I am on the verge of breaking...
My moment:
Quint raging...Russ sleeping...Rhett swinging but getting hungry....
I look around....
so much mess
so many needs
so much snow
so many battles
and all I want to do is crawl in my bed....and sleep.
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2nd Corinthians 12:9

I had no idea the battles would start so early either; Ella is very strong willed. I think you are doing a wonderful job though and are a great mommy.
