Even if I'm upset because of someone else or some situation -- I have a problem. MY upset is MY problem. I need to start with ME. The first item business is me. All the blaming, analyzing, wondering, and complaining about them/him/her/it will wait until I take care of myself. |

Re: ETLDTD - Week One, Friday-Sunday
DH is back at work so I've had lots of "practice" today. I'm having a lot of trouble with getting upset and very angry. I've been doing the deep breath, "I"m upset and its OK" ect. I just don't understand WHY I'm getting so angry with ds1. I get angry b/c he's getting into stuff. Generally, I feel like half the time he's on the prowl looking for trouble.

Re: ETLDTD - Week One, Friday-Sunday
I finally got around to mentioning the 7 week challenge to DH and he said he's in ! He said he would fail at "owning his own upset" and so I reminded him that is why were doing this! So we can get better at what we aren't good at. He works at a High Security Juvenile Detention Center and has 3 days of 12 hour shifts starting tomorrow so I told him he will get lots of practice there

Re: ETLDTD - Week One, Friday-Sunday
Okay, so I can (most of the time) own my own upset. But then what do I DO to get my kiddo to do what I want?!?!
One step at a time, I know. I just can't wait till I'm a perfect mom! -Elizabeth
