I tend to get overly frustrated with my 2 year old and by the time hubby gets home both 2 year old and I are completely strung out and in rotten moods.

He knows and it creates an atmosphere of stress for all of us.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05961614872895512970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212550248931823866.post-12414905969579805472008-07-12T12:31:00.000-04:002008-07-12T12:31:00.000-04:00There are probably dozens of rules I could make! ;...There are probably dozens of rules I could make! ;-) Right now I think *I* would feel/act more peaceful (which I know would radiate to DH and DS) if I could be more graceful about DH's unpredictable and very long working hours.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397886444398204729noreply@blogger.com
