We all have craziness in our lives and what I have learned is that we as parents really need to take the time to manage it not only for ourselves but also for our kids.
It has taken time, lots of time for me to realize that I needed to be the one to remove the drama. I did and I am finding that while things get crazy sometimes, it is now much easier to bring things to "normal". And as a parent I have the responsibility to keep my children's life drama free as well. I want them to understand that drama is not the norm.
It's so true. Sometimes I feel powerless when things get crazy, but I have discovered that when I am calm, it makes a significant difference of the household. Sometimes I don't like the "pressure" of "always" having to be the "calm one", but it's also nice to know that my presence really does make a difference.
