Sometimes you have to be the father and mother if you are a widower. I have close relatives, acquaintances who's spouse has passed away suddenly from illness and they have 5 or more young children and they have to run the whole show by themselves. It's not easy, but they get it done, strong, Godly people.
Man, this is teaching me everyone has to learn to submit I like the all the way ,right away ,with a happy heart Realistic disciplines, not out of angry They speak what they did wrong Authority for protection provision and direction of kids
Thank you 🙏💕 This came out just as I prayed for help. I'm having this conversation today with the kiddos. Thank you for putting this out there and being so honest
Ha I’m in the crazy mama stage; one little 6 month old girl who’s breastfed and 3 boys ages 2-6 😂 I can so relate to this talk. This has been super convicting and gave me lots of practical tips to implement.
THIS! THIS is what I have been praying for. 2 girls and 2 boys and this knowledge applies to both! Forehead slap for not seeing it before to take away the toys - that are IN the room! I have been wanting to get to the HEART of one of my girls but her toys have been distracting her SO MUCH from being able to even talk to her. She gets LOST in them and possessive. How did I not THINK of that before? Thank you for your hearts for the Lord to encourage other moms - boys and girls! I love the "hassle time" concept and the happy heart expression but I find if I say the latter too much (becasue it needs to be repeated often) that they actually start getting angry at me for saying it - not just annoyed. Any suggestions for how to respond to that? And I agree that this needs a second part!! God bless you both!
I don't know what this looks with my six year old who has been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD. He hits, throws things, intentionally breaks things, is often intentionally disobedient when he sees he has already upset me, he yells, screams, calls me a bad mom and an idiot, tells me to shut up and calls me stupid. As a single mom I have no idea where to even begin with him and to be honest I don't even have the energy. There isn't much to take away from him and taking what little he has ends up being harder on me than it is on him because very few things allow me space and time to step away for even a moment to get things done or do something as simple as use the restroom. Spanking sends him from 100 to 10,000 and timeout is like a world war. At this point he thinks intentional disobedience is a funny game and I'm at my wits end. I am almost always frustrated and angry and I hate it.
A mom is enough. You cannot be both mom and dad no matter who you are. Even if you’re a full-time or part-time single parent, you can never be a dad. You’re also not a supermom. You are simply a mom and some of us have much heavier loads than other moms but we are no more and no less than the mom. Being a woman first and mom second helps give that clarity and give no attention to the things that don’t matter. Build your priorities and modify as needed.
Really great video except for the spanking part.. Really do you guys spank your children?! That is not neccesary, you can disciplin without being physically violent with your kids. There are loads of great kids psykologists who can give you tools if you dont know how
