The peace and quiet and adult conversation we had on our mini-vacation were great. Then...we got home. ReEntry did not go well with our daughter. While we were away and her grandparents were watching her, she was angelic -- not one bit of fussing. The instant we saw her she started acting up; unfortunately it lasted for a couple of days. It put a wrench in the joy and the relaxation we gained from the trip.
We often feel like we are the only ones who deal with a challenging child. I talked to a friend at work last week. He told me that they have at least one major blow up at "reentry" time with their kids. It made me feel a lot better to know that we aren't alone.
While we were away, Dana and I started reading a book that Pastor Al recommended (and lent us) called 1-2-3 Magic for Christian Parents. We need some direction with our parenting and hope this gives some practical help -- we want to do our job better.
