We are all FABULOUS mothers, this I know. But...we all have a flaw or two. What are they?

Mine is that I tend to give DS toys that he can't reach instead of letting him figure out how to get it himself. I need to just let him work it out and learn problem-solving skills.

I have a short fuse. Especially when dd#1 gives me that deer-in-the-headlights look. I know we all speak the same language in this house, so why is it that my words are incomprhensible? Well, as long as I'm not talking about candy or playing with friends any way. LOL

I think mine would be that I am sometimes to patient. Does that make sense? I consider it a flaw because my children get their feelings hurt when another adult is impatient with them. This happens quite a lot with family members and I wonder if sometimes there are things that I should not have patience with? It does not even make sense to myself! lol
