We love them, and sometimes they can do things that drive us crazy. Whether it’s your 10 year old dilly-dallying getting ready in the morning, your 3 year old stealing cookies off the counter (yes, all of them), or something else, sometimes your kids make you so mad, you could scream.
And sometimes you do. (Or at least, I know I do.)

- How you can use your irritation constructively
