including dumping my man. I love him with all of my heart, but he’s got “issues.” He has so many good qualities, and our children love him, but his bad qualities sometimes outweigh the good, and it affects all of us. While I’m not here to “air” all of his dirty laundry, I just am venting my frustrations. Dealing with the situations he puts our family in causes a lot of stress and I tend to pass that on to my children by getting frustrated, yelling, or just not spending enough time with them, this in turn, turns to guilt. While I don’t hit or beat my children, I think I yell and get mad at little things way to much simply due to the excessive stress. Its time to make a change!!
This also means possibly re-evaluating my life. I work full time, go to school full time and try to parent 4 children. I am committed to finishing school, but I might have to cut my schedule a bit, or take some time off. I might have to rearrange my work schedule, for instance, I work 10 hours a day 4 days a week. It might work out better for me to cut back down to 8 hour days 5 days a week, in an effort to spend more evening hours with the kids.
These are just a couple of things that need to be looked at, and in reaching this goal I would like to explore these along with other possibilities.
