Why?
Why can't I be more patient like most all of my friends who are moms?
Why does every little extra request Emma makes at bedtime drive me INSANE!?!?
Why do I raise my voice to a 4 year old?
Why do I expect her to behave beyond her years?
Why is it that I don't jump at the request to snuggle with her in her bed at night when I know that in just a few years she won't want me near her?
Why do I let her push my buttons?
Why can't I be half the Mom my mom was?
I swear, I feel so absolutely incompetent these days. My poor kid. She is a fantastic little girl and I'm just not enjoying her at all. Time to get back onto some medication perhaps?

Oh my goodness it's not just me. It's something in the age, I think. The more he wants to assert his independence, the more it gets on my nerves. And he's such a fantastic kid. I worry that I am crushing his spirit when I try to teach him that sometimes you just have to obey because I'm the mommy. Being a mommy is so hard.
We all do and feel the same things. And other parents are not more competent than you -- they just appear so. You're doing great.
