Anyway, hang in there. :) Thanks for linking up at #ThreeWordWednesday.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14399372926189206869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27323310626821015.post-14439583355275434292015-08-29T12:48:47.084-07:002015-08-29T12:48:47.084-07:00I'm in good company, then, Susan!

I think that ...I love the disclaimer at the bottom! I think that sometimes in His grace we see a bit of the reality of our own sinfulness as we raise our children. We all have had picky eaters and I totally get your frustration,sister. But.. as usually..our husbands are right about the things that leave us unglued. When I learned not to "let it all bother me", it seemed to change the dynamic. I also chose to make sure I cooked atleast 1 thing that my kids liked for the meal so that they could learn to compromise and try to see I was willing to bend a little. It didn't always work, but it made dinnertime so much easier.<br />Blessings,<br />DawnDawnhttp://www.journeysingrace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27323310626821015.post-15636315710148823372015-08-24T06:47:14.926-07:002015-08-24T06:47:14.926-07:00I know he is a mix of his strong willed mother and...I know he is a mix of his strong willed mother and his even more stubborn father!

Oh. I was pretty sure I had the most stubborn sons in the world. Then I look at their mother . . .<br />Thanks for these convicting words!Michele Morinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814119096056835884noreply@blogger.com
