OUT of patience

I'm completely out of patience for crying and tantrums. I've never allowed them in my room, but they've happened all year anyway. I am to the point where I don't know how I'll react the next time one of my kids starts bawling because he (yes, it's always a boy for some reason) hasn't gotten his way, or he is having to face consequences for his actions. And that's pretty sad since I typically have at LEAST 4 tantrums a week. I hope I don't do anything to lose my job. So anyway, I'm praying for patience, but clearly my prayers aren't working. Maybe if someone else (who isn't on the verge of hating innocent children) prays for me, then God will actually listen to them.
