Being a Dad can be tough

A few days ago I really struggled with Oskar. I sometimes get a little tough on him and forget that he is only 3 years old and that he is also learning two languages, two sets of words and dealing with two parents from different backgrounds and cultures. Sometimes Oskar gets tired and he really struggles to listen and just does his own thing. Alex when tired just wants to lay down and go to bed, so he doesn't press me, but Oskar does. I get angery with Oskar and then he started to melt down a little. It was crazy for a little while and Reena always amazes me how she keeps her cool while I am just about to explode. In the end everything was good, but I felt like I was at the end of my rope. It was then I had to breath, step back and beg God for a little clarity and wisdom. He didn't leave me hanging, but to be honest I am sure this won't be the last time, but I hope I can get better at handeling these type of situations.
