Would you offer a prayer for me to Our Blessed Mother that I can be a better mother to my little ones? Its just too easy to get upset with them, especially one who is prone to anger as a first response, and another who has severl habits that drive me nuts. I don't ignore them when I should and instead harp on him, and its affecting our relationship.

Thank you, and you are all in my prayers as well!

Oh, Anne!

Boy, have I been there with that exact prayer asking Our Lady to help me love these children in my care with her heart!

I will absolutely pray for you and your relationship with each of your precious children! May Our Lady tenderly guide you!

Here's a !! I remember the heart ache I felt when I hit that point!

Oh ...how many times I could ask for that same prayer word for word! I **try** to remember to say lots of Hail Mary's when my brain freezes and I can't think straight in similar situations.

I don't know what happened to me, but I recently was able to break through this problem too. Praying for God's grace to bring you through too. Actually, I think it was recognizing my need for sleep and healthy food and exercise and an occasional break! :D My daughter asked me why I was so nice this morning. I think it was also that they also slept about an hour later than usual
