I have been having problems with my kids where they won't listen and won't obey and it's just so constant I snap and start screaming. Then they listen and my son says he does like "mean mommy" and I don't like mean mommy either. I don't want to be like this, but I'm feel so exhausted and just can't get them to obey. Please pray for me

I know exactly what that's like Sharon! You are a great momma! Forgive yourself & accept His forgivness everytime! For the longest I would be this way & would just get so frustrated with asking God to forgive me for the same thing 5 times everyday! I don't know what happened exactly, but just the past 2 weeks have I felt a lot more freedom in this area.. I've been so much more patient & living with the kids & it's been amazing. I think it's a season of testing. When we get stuck in that angry type mode with the kids its a enemy attack, but also I think we grow so much as long as we keep pressing into Him. Eventually the evil spirit that tempts us will begin to fall away from us.
I'm praying for you sister.

Thank you Mary that means so much to me. My step baby is such a sweet heart. She saw how stressed I was and she has this habit of eves dropping and heard me complaining about how tired I am, so when I went to take a shower she quickly cleaned up the house as best she could. She is just such a blessing.

Sharon, I don't really have any advice to offer, but I saw this yesterday and have had you on my mind. I'm praying for you and your family. I think honestly it's pretty normal to feel this way at times, and to me, it seems very positive that you are recognizing it.
Maybe you can sit down with your kids and talk openly about how sometimes your "mean mommy" comes out for xyz reasons and just reinforce your love yet that you also have emotions/moods just like they do! Just a thought!
I will continue praying for you!

Adrienne you are so wise sister. Thank you for giving me the answer. My son was being difficult again and I told him he better put away "naughty Christian" before "mean mommy" comes out and he straightened up! So simple! Feeling so much relief recently. Thank you Lord
