I am far from the picture of a great mom that does it all right but I just keep having the urge to share this....I have always tried to be a mom of consistency, making sure my kids can expect the same response, expectation, results, etc. Over the last few months with a lot of family stuff going on, I crumbled and got way off course on that consistency. ...I didnt care...go ahead, do what u want...its fine. Soon, my kids were fighting like never before, rooms were a mess, and I was at my wits end! Who were these children and where did my loving, obedient babies go? Recently, I woke up and realized what I had done and the monster I had created in myself AND in my children. I thought, How do I get out of this hole because I am NOT ok with living this way? So I made new chore charts, gave them both a list of chores...making the bed, reading, cleaning up after the dogs, bible devotions, dusting, and so on. It hasnt been a week yet...they wake up, start rushing around the house doing chores, checking things off, letting me know about their progress, and then once they are done.....they play TOGETHER!! Again....I dont claim to know it all....but friends...children not only need boundaries and consistency.....they CRAVE IT. Just a thought I felt compelled to share.....Have a blessed day.
