Making my kids do everything on my time table/schedule. It really shouldn't matter what order I tell them to do something as long as they get it done right?

I am way too impatient with them.

Believing in myself. I really struggle with guilt that I'm not doing everything the best way.

Communicating the idea of an "inside" voice and then remding myself to make sure I give him plenty of time to be loud.

Teaching them to see things from every perspective. I try so hard to show them it's not always One Way. I hope and pray when they are grown that they will be fair and nonjudgemental people in this judgemental world!! I don't want them to be pushovers either though!

My kids are really good kids, so I know they get away with tons of stuff they shouldn't, but hey! They only get one childhood! Make the best of it ;)
