When you live with someone, you aren't going to like them ALL the time. Heck, I don't even like living with MYSELF all the time! :) I think the mothers who don’t feel like that occasionally are the ones who wind up in a padded room with a straight jacket.

I know I have experienced what you describe, and felt guilty as #@$$ for feeling that way. I remember when our now 10 year old was about 2, it occurred to me one day that, although I would have given my life for her and loved her dearly, I didn't like her. She was fussy and demanding, needed to be a backpack or be held every minute of the day and hadn't allowed me to get more than 4 consecutive hours of sleep for 2 years (which continued until she was 3 1/2). I remember feeling like the worst mom of all time for feeling that way. I still have times that one of our 5 kids is going through a phase that is just really driving me crazy and I have to remind myself that I am not pleasant to live with sometimes either and I pray for grace to get through it. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone...this motherhood job is a tough one and it always helps to remember we are not alone in the various things we go through. Saying a prayer for you tonight!

Every mother has those moments when they find their children annoying. It IS possible to love your child deeply and still find them annoying. It will pass. Don’t worry, it’s just a phase.

It's not them that you hate these days--it is their actions, so that leaves you guilt free, mom. :) This too shall pass--oh wait, you already said that. But it's true. And something new and more annoying will take its place. Someday, we're gonna miss this. Well, that's what I keep telling myself. Ugh.

Video games caused melt-downs, he'd do anything to get some cash or would try to bargain with us in order to get stuff and he was just nasty! He's 9 now and for the most part, he's outgrown it, but MAN! Was he ever annoying!! Okay, when my younger son was 8, he did the same exact thing.

Yes, it will pass ... and come again ... and pass ... I go through stages of being very content as a mom, enjoying my children, and then wanting to run down the driveway and keep running, and running, and running. Some days I wonder if I can possibly make it through child rearing, and some days I wonder if I want to. At those times, I have to take it day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, praying for strength and perserverance. I guess if the Lord can be patient with me, I need to keep being patient with my children! It sounds as if it may be time for some "Mom time"! Oh, I very much know what you’re talking about!

It sounds as if it may be time for some “Mom time”!
