Struggling to lead by example with my anger issues

S

Mar 11 min read

I've been praying about this for months but I keep losing my temper with the kids over stupid stuff like spilled milk or them being slow getting ready. Then I feel terrible because I'm supposed to be showing them Christ's love and patience and I'm just yelling like a maniac. How do you guys handle your own character flaws when your kids are watching? I want to do better but it feels impossible some days.

Dude, the anger thing is real. I've found that when I'm more rested and my coffee intake is reasonable things go way better. Might sound stupid but it helps me.

This is something I struggle with too. The fact that you're aware of it and praying about it is already a big step. Have you talked to anyone about specific strategies?

I hear you. It's the guilt that gets me the worst, losing it over something small and then feeling terrible about it all day. You're not alone in this.
