I've been conscious of a lot of stress in my house lately. True, I myself am under increased stress; but this was something more. I realized I really wasn't enjoying being a parent. It's not that my daughter's behavior has changed, but rather my attitudes had changed, and not for the better. I was reminded (again!) that it didn't have to be that way as I read "The Happiest Mom (Parenting Magazine): 10 Secrets to Enjoying Motherhood". I didn't have to have these arguments.
