Being a mom is humbling

A couple days ago I got in a fight with Liam about getting into the car so we could go somewhere. (Most of my fights with the kids are centered around getting ready to go places or just getting buckled inthe car). He told me I'm a stupid mom, and I agreed with him. Then he told me, "you used to be an awesome mom. You used to say 'yes' more." he's right. I do say 'no" too often. Sad realization. But what's a mom to do when i've got 3 kids, a house, and limited means. I'm busy just trying to keep it all together. Wish i could say 'yes' more.

Last night putting Liam to bed he said, "Mom, could you be nice once again." Ugh, I just want to cry because I have turned into such a monster of a person. I didn't know I'd turn out this way.
