Love the ones that need loving, hold the ones that need holding, weep with the ones that are weeping, and correct the ones that need correcting. In short, by giving and loving your family with all your heart, the everyday "annoyances" of life will seem insignificant. Don't take life too serious! What drives you crazy today, will be gone tomorrow! Enjoy every minute!

There's always going to be challenges in family life. Kids not wanting to do what you want, or kids misbehaving, but it's something that you take in stride. Also when it comes to those challenges, sometimes it can seem overwhelming sometimes, and we get frustrated as parents, but we can't let those frustrations get to us so much to the point that we take it out on the kids. I belive in discipline with kids, but when you do, don't ever do it when your angry, because alot of times where we hear about child abuse is when the parent is angry and takes it too far.
What I find to help cope with those challenges of family life, what works well for my wife and I is we get 1 night a week away from the kids, and it really helps. Helps my wife and I to connect and just have some quality adult time together. It really helps our marriage and also with how we are able to deal with the challenges with the kids. Alot of times on that night alone, we have a date night, where we either go out of have dinner at home, just spending quality time alone without the kids.
It's amazing at how that 1 night a week can make quite a difference in our relationship with each other, and with our relationship with our kids.
Hope that this helps.
Take care and God Bless

This happens in every family in every stage of life... You just live and work through it together... Challenges happen all the time in our lives and we choose to either work through them or to run and not face them... It is all about choices.

It's all worth it in the end. Children are difficult, but oh how rewarding!
