I have been a member of a parenting message board for close to three years now. It's an online venue for advice, frustration venting, discussion of news, and basically friendship. Some of the girls have been there longer than I, others not so long, but still, I know many of them better than I know real life friends and even family.
Friday night, one of the girls lost her daughter in an accident. Her daughter was one week younger than Isaac. I bawled for a family that I've never met. Monte doesn't understand how I can care so much. No family should have to experience that pain.
So now, when I'm feeling frustrated with my kids, I remind myself that I have them around. So I hug them and tell them I love them a little more than normal, and also in place of yelling.
