Ask parents what’s their greatest pleasure.

They will say: “My kids.”

What’s their greatest pain? My kids!

Does your experience sometimes lean too much towards the pain side?

Do you find yourself:

• Too often yelling at the kids?
• Wondering if you are more accurately named a drill sergeant and a chauffeur than a Mom?
• Experiencing stress and anxiety as you rush the kids to school, to activity after activity, and then again to bed at night?
• Sometimes wondering whether you’re really up to the task?
• Daydreaming about the serene life you had before kids, and then feel guilty for not appreciating them?
• Marveling at moms and dads who actually seem to be calm and enjoying their children?

You are not alone. Self-doubt, anxiety and conflict are normal. But they are not inevitable.
