I’m also a control freak by nature. Kids, God love them, can really throw a wrench in the works! Ha ha! Hang in there!

Thanks for sharing. Motherhood is the toughest job in the world, it is also the most glorious!

Hang in there.

I understand. I do. My 6 year old has sensory integration disorder and it is just harsh some days. Days when I just want him to "act like a normal child", days when I am so frustrated that he can't just transition easily, when a tag on his pants makes him completely melt down, when he won't eat anything but hard crackers all day because he won't tolerate different textures, days when the noise of our family is too much for him and so he retaliates by screaming, days when his sensory struggles make him angry and he takes it out on his little brother and sister. Days when I just wish there was a pill I could give him to make it all go away.

But I know there are good days too. And I have been told it won't be this difficult always. And I love my son. I just wish life didn't have to be so hard for him (and the rest of us) all the time.

Anyway, I hope your days just get better and better.

Thanks for sharing! Prenting is a challenge and much more difficult then I ever anticipated. Hang in there.

I love this sensitive look into your thoughts. You are doing a great job; these times do make us earn our bucks and badges as a good parent. Keep on, keepin’ on, my friend…

Thank you for putting this out there.

I've never thought of my self as a control freak but I can see the tendencies.

The last few days have been extremely stressful and I feel like I'm about to hit my breaking point.
I wish I had someone who would step in to help and give me a chance to refuel.
DH just doesn't "get it" and I feel like I'm drowning here.

Things will be better soon, I'm sure.

At the moment? I just want to cry, scream & throw things till someone actually hears me asking for help.

I feel you on the control freak. You’ll continue to be strong for EB because that’s what mom’s do. And when you need to let it all out you’ll come here, and people will listen and be supportive because that’s what mom’s do too.
