Parents...

Honor Your Father and Mother...
does anyone else have trouble with this commandment?

I am not sure how to do this with my mom. I mean I love her...I just don't agree with hardly anything she thinks. Sometimes she has some great thoughts, but mostly its just criticism of how I do things. Generally her sentences start "now, if I had your family I would..." Well, I hate that because I am an only child! She has absolutely NO idea of how things work in a family with 10 children. I am happy that she is concerned for her grandchildren BUT enough is enough! I have never lived up to her standards and probley never will. I am okay with that if she would just leave me be. I know my children are AWESOME and if she doesn't care to get to know them and all that, then it's her problem.

Can you sense my anger towards this? I have tried to talk to her, but she just gets mad and then talks about me behind my back. I don't know what to do besides pray.

Please pray with me that my relationship with my mom will be restored fully and that I am able to let go of he anger.

THANKS!
