Thank you for sharing your experiences and useful advise. It definitely helps to know that i’m not alone on this and that there are things that one can do to change a person’s perspective on any situation.

]]> By: Chris https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/happy-mom/#comment-4437 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=8050#comment-4437 As a dad of 3 older kids, when our family was in your position, I remember thinking that this is just how my life is going to be moving forward. But what I didn’t account for was growth. The kids have grown older and the challenges of parenting change. It won’t always be as chaotic as it is now for you.
My girls are now teenagers and the boy is in 5th grade. All 3 kids are gone ALL DAY! and my wife has peace and quiet. Sometimes I’ll have a weekday off and we get to reconnect as husband and wife. We get lunch, go to the movies, and just be together.
My point is, it wont always be like this. And when it’s not like this anymore, you’ll miss it. And when you look back at old pictures or videos of your kids being cute, you’ll wish for those days back.

You’re enjoying your children and all the silly things that happen along the way. A lesson one can take through life.

The good news is that it is possible to control your thoughts and feelings. If you find yourself thinking negative thoughts too often, don’t worry, your brain can be rewired, just like a computer.

]]> By: Ginger S https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/happy-mom/#comment-3900 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=8050#comment-3900 Actually, the other day, my husband caught me (and secretly snapped a couple of hilarious photo, albeit, encriminating photos) sitting on the floor in front of our pantry eating candy. That’s kind of my quick retreat when I need a breather. Not the healthiest but it gets the job done.
I have had a series of horrifying days back to back where I actually called a babysitter while crying in my closet to come over ASAP so I could get away (my 5 year old went through quite the destructive phase for about a month. Thank the Lord she has lovely handwriting seeings how she scratched her name in the TV with a push pin.)

]]> By: Cody https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/happy-mom/#comment-3767 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=8050#comment-3767 I need to get better about this. I don’t txt my husband during the day but I have on occasion unloaded on him the minute he comes home. I wish I had someone else to talk to about my frustration sometimes though. sometimes his complaining though about his job and other things gets old and sometimes I feel really under appreciated about all the work I do at home it’s almost like he doesn’t even acknowledge it half the time

]]> By: Michelle @ Lillian Abbey https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/happy-mom/#comment-3563 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=8050#comment-3563 Love this! I catch myself complaining to my husband all the time. It’s hard to keep the little things in perspective when your entire day is made up of little things. Great reminder to have a positive attitude.

I work with moms who are looking to find themselves within the overwhelm of motherhood, and mindset is HUGE. And I find that there are way too many moms groups on Facebook where the moms just support each other in their ventfest, and no one ever comes to a solution. It IS about the mindset first and foremost. I am excited to read the excerpt from your book!

Now did you find something to remove the Sharpie off of the wood furniture? I have an idea that might help

]]> By: Cassie Airheart White https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/happy-mom/#comment-2833 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=8050#comment-2833 I love this article. I work full-time but would love to stay home with my kids. However, I know I would eventually go crazy! It’s nice to know that other moms feel that way too!!! :-)

ReNae, thank you for your lovely comment. I don’t have any posts about that, but I will add it to my list of ideas for future posts!

]]> By: ReNae Deal https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/happy-mom/#comment-2479 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=8050#comment-2479 I love your positive yet honest & realistic attitude. Do you have any advice/articles on not keeping score? I do it with everyone even though I know it’s unhealthy & damaging. I know I & my family would be much happier & healthier if I could find a way to stop with the constant score card in the head! Thank you
