You had a bad day. It happens. Yes, you probably treated people around you badly, but they love you and will forgive you.<br /><br />What worries me more is that you have no patience toward yourself, and you show YOURSELF no kindness or compassion, and that will almost certainly leak over into your other relationships. Would you ever talk to your husband or children the way you talk to yourself? Words matter. They do.<br /><br />Being tired, being out of patience, being HUMAN is normal. Most people don't view children acting up in Mass nearly as negatively as you think they do. I mean, the Church tells us to have all these kids, then they can listen to 'em!!<br /><br />You are loved, and beloved and lovable. No one expects perfection from you, except you. Whoever is in your head, living rent-free and telling you to be a horrible person toward yourself needs to get tossed onto the street!!<br /><br />(((hug))) Michaeleen Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04386809185279169901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1139553401861484703.post-20198023960903292882013-02-25T16:02:41.724+00:002013-02-25T16:02:41.724+00:00Thank you, Kate.

No Sunday School here until they're 5 (primary school age) but hopefully, even in a year or so, they'll be a little more engaged with the Mass. :)<br />Ashleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129192268688188419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1139553401861484703.post-53337430679017169612013-02-25T12:05:38.149+00:002013-02-25T12:05:38.149+00:00I have seen mothers with only one child having to ...I have seen mothers with only one child having to disrupt their concentration during mass to cater to their child. You have two and that makes it even harder, Let's pray that they grow up faster so that they can atleast attend Sunday school and let you be. <br />Thank you for letting some of us singles understand the other side to the mother with young toddlers, during mass.
