They test us all. I like to think of them as meditation practice, just be cool ice cold

it’s hard to be cool when they bite/grab your face 😭 tips welcome
Heard. Hold your boundaries calmly (to the best of your ability). "Oh youd like to bite and grab me?" Hold face, "sorry can't let you do that"
The most annoying stuff is where our patience will be tested, but also the biggest opportunities for our own growth. It dredges up stuff with how we were parented (for better or worse), and allows us to react differently and consciously
Sorry to go so deep on this but it is a golden opportunity for us to look at our default responses. No therapists needed if you have a bunch of kids and are open to learning from them
