How to maintain a good relationship with your kids?

My best friend has this same problem and really one needs to try to balance things out the best way one can because I am sure that it is not easy and can get really complex when it does not need to be. From what you wrote you are a great mother who is working to provide for your children and already that speaks very great of you as a mother because one always does what is best for the children and unfortunetly it ends up crossing time that is spent with them by more than half but that small opportunity you get you should take advantage because that is quality time that is best shared together as a family.

hi jazel! welcome to myLot! i don't have kids yet and i'm not even married yet but i can understand what you are going through because my mother gets mad at us, her children, too at times. i think every mother gets mad at their children at one or another because they are not perfect and they can't always be understanding and forever giving. sometimes getting mad also has its benefits. children get to respect their mothers more and they get to understand each others more. its normal to be mad just as it is normal to kiss and make up. so after getting mad for a while, you should kiss and make up with your children and explain to them why you got mad. communication plays an important role. and then, its important to spend quality time with them no matter how busy you are with your work. you should find time within your busy schedule, an ample time that you can give solely for your children, like bonding moments.
