Who knew!!!

Did I really give my parents a hard time when I was six? Did I make them want to hurt me but then feel hurt all at the same time? I am sure I am not the only parent who feels this way. So tonight Jr. was talking back and complaining and refusing to do things and whining. A typical weekday night but I guess I am getting tired of it and the talks aren't working so it is time mommy means business. The final straw was when he stuck his tongue out at me. I sent him to his room and then told him to brush his teeth because he was going to his room and not coming out till the morning. Of course I explained why but i get the line Jesus says to give people another try. I then said Jesus says to forgive and mommy will forgive you but you are still going to your room. So, he is in his room and I had to talk to my mom because I was angry but then my heart was hurting all at the same time. My mom told me it was just going to get harder. I know she is right. I just want what every parent wants......to raise a nice child. I really hope I can do it!
