I am also failing with my patience. Last night when my husband did something irritating and then laughed when he saw I was uncomfortable, I lost my temper and told him to, "... get a clue" I felt so bad because I snapped at him, and his reaction to my discomfort was not his fault. I keep giving myself a stern talking to, seeking joy and peace to help myself be more patient. So far I am failing. Sigh... 😔

You are trying your best. Don’t be so hard on yourself. I have to dress my husband but one night he went to the bathroom then took his diaper off put his pj back on, I was not a happy, realizing he can do some of the things that I was doing. I felt like the mother who does it all for the child and not allowing him to do it himself. Sometimes I feel like a drill Sargent barking out orders and other times I have patience.
