Short fuse?
Hello my sunny pals,
I have a short fuse this week. I am not sure why my temper keeps flaring but Jackson is setting me off. I know it's normal for kids to be grumpy and tired. I know it's normal for kids to act out in frustration. I just wish I could stop myself from playing along.
I can normally keep my cool but yesterday I was not able too and as a result Jackson and I got into a horrible fight. I feel horrible about it but he has already moved on. His ability to let go of his anger is amazing. It burns white hot but then it's gone. Mine will stay long after the flames have burned. I am the white coals at the bottom of the grille.
I am working on understanding my anger. I know it comes from fear and that Jackson treats me with disrespect. I get that I am tired and grumpy too. I have to control my reactions. I have to remember I am the parent and I am acting out in Jackson's best interest. I can parent better. I will forgive myself and move on. It's what I do best.
