Parenting styles is defiantly a huge factor in the R. It is what caused the problems 8 years ago.
Since the bomb I have been patient with the kids and loving them every chance I can get. This morning I stepped in once and helped a situation and a second time asked if she wanted help, she said sure and I helped the best I could. She has mentioned that at times she doesn’t want my help, she is taking care of it and I come in and make things worse. Other times she’s frustrated and wants my help without asking.
I’m glad I got to help this morning and last night with the youngest. It made me feel closer to her.
