Temper struggler here too. I also was raised in a very militant household and I vowed NEVER to act like that. Yet when things get stressful the most often played tapes (ones from childhood) are the things that come out. I hate it, I really do. I would cry to the Lord and to my husband many times and say this isn't who I want to be. pharmaceutical mention
I just want to be patient and even keeled all the time! The thing that helps me is not overloading my day. I take care of meals, and basic cleaning and schooling with the children but I no longer try and keep a perfect home with super gourmet meals and whatnot. And food. Man alive I can get really impatient if my blood sugar drops!
