[quote=Anonymous]It gets easier in my opinion when they get older. My kids are now elementary and middle school age. Yes, I have days where I know I made my mistakes and didn't handle myself well. But now I have days where I see my kids doing something kind towards others, 'fessing up to a mistake even at the risk of a consequence, showing forgiveness when wronged, overcoming a hardship or challenge with grace, and I realize that they are doing well and I just love the little people they are becoming. I also see through the differences among siblings as they age that some things are just innate to who they are, and I cut myself some slack about just how much influence Dad and I actually have. The one thing I haven't released is my anxiety about their safety. To be honest, I don't know if that will ever be alleviated. I am forty and my mama still worries about me.[/quote]
