yuck
Tater's constant oppositional and antagonistic attitude is wearing me out. My love bank is empty, my patience is worn thin. I don't even want to see her, much less mother her.
I completely understand. It's so hard to keep being kind, loving and mothering as you say when all you get back is negativity. We have had periods like that with our son. Things have changed here and I hope they will for Tater too. Today when asked what he was most proud of for a school form he said, "Being loved by you and Pappa." Filled my bank right up.
Know you're not alone. Perhaps a play date with that adorable puppy of yours will make a love deposit.
