" I think my own stress currently is realizing how
my attitudes were responsible for the tenseness around the house,
because I had pretty outrageous expectations not so long ago. I kind
of feel like I was creating this really angry monster. "

Controlling other people not only causes a lot of stress...it's
EXHAUSTING isn't it? I remember parenting felt like so much WORK back
when I tried to control their diets and bedtimes. ugh. It's not only
freeing for the children to learn a balance (with parental assistance
as needed of course) but it's very freeing for the parents!
You are now allowed to ENJOY your children, rather than exhausting
yourself over details that really don't matter as much as relationships.

Joy and peace can enter when we make room for it, and there isn't
nearly as much room when someone is trying to control others.

I really enjoyed hearing about the shifts happening in your household,
thanks for sharing.
