Today was not a good day in terms of respect.

Middle Boy was having the most trouble. While I have been trying as hard as I can to be patient with it the fact that it is continual has me on edge pretty much non-stop. It almost always escalates into a screaming match between Middle Boy and me and I HATE that. I hate that I get that mad and when I do I yell.

Younger Boy hates when Middle Boy and I argue. It makes him VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. He thinks that all of our arguing is going to result in both of them having to leave my house and that scares him.

I pray that this weeklong break is going to de-escalate all of these behaviors.

Pray we can handle things differently in the future.
