i felt that way, too.
and spanking does not help. have you ever watched 'nanny 9-1-1'? there is also a book out called 'supernanny.' i thought i knew how to use time out, but i was way off. it really works. and it is virtually guilt free.

I sometimes feel lost...

when i see how my kids react and when they don't listen to me...

that's so true. i find myself being less than what i would like and i see them just watching and absorbing all of it. it is really humbling.

I know what you mean by feeling like you can't learn fast enough...but you are leaps abounds ahead of most people I know.  Great post.

This is a truly beautiful attitude...I think any child would be blessed to have you as a parent. And this line: "Know that I am human, and learning things even as I speak." Wonderful!! We are all human, and constantly learning.
