I struggle everyday. I post cute pictures of my daughter on Facebook and our family fun outings. I post all the sweet things she does and I post when she learns something new. But what I forget to mention is not every moment is perfect.

Some days are extremely difficult. She wakes up on the wrong side of the bed and in an instant the day is horrible. She doesn't like the color of her sippy cup. She doesn't want her diaper changed. She doesn't want to eat her lunch and she refuses to go to bed. But that's nothing new to us parents. Because this is an almost daily thing, whether it be one thing or all these things in the same day, either way parenting is so hard.

Sometimes I wonder why I was chosen to be a mom. I sometimes wonder if I'm a good mom or if I'm doing it right. Sometimes I could probably lower my voice when I tell and I could probably be more sympathetic when she's upset over her sippy cup color, because even though this might seem like little things to us, it doesn't make their feelings any less real. They just get upset over small things because that is all their brain can comprehend at this age.

We often may have a bad day, which results into us being a crabby parent that day. Which results in us taking it out on our loved ones and sometimes even kids. Kids don't understand when you've "had a bad day" or your "stressed" because they don't know any difference. They don't understand feelings and the struggles adults go through. Isn't it a little much to put that all on them?

Have more patience on your bad day, your child is learning. They're trying. They don't know how to make sense of your stressed attitude and did you know kids sense when something is wrong. They can read off your emotions and actions. It makes them act out too, which causes you to become even more frustrated. It's a big cycle.

We are all going to have very crappy days. We are all going to wonder why God chose us to be a parent. But you have your answer right in front of you. No ones kisses can take away pain like your child's can. No ones arms around your neck can ever feel as good as theirs.

Don't take your bad day out on your child. Instead love them harder, let them save you. Let them open your mind that things aren't so bad after all. That there is always this little human that will always be a part of your soul, ready to make your day even better.
