I could not comment over on that post. So I will comment here. :-)
That post hit home for me as well. Even though I homeschool it is a thought that I needed to hear.
I too find myself not praising the kids near enough. I am going to make sure I start changing my focus from what is not "as I wish", but what they are doing well.
Thank you for this post. I needed to hear/read this right now.

ARE YOU OUTNUMBERED?
Overwhelmed? Surrounded?
I’ve spent most of my “mom life” outnumbered … by four sons!
It’s easy for a mom to feel outnumbered today, to feel isolated and alone. But we really can’t do it all alone.
Moms need each other, not to mention a touch of something greater than us.
Along the way I’ve stumbled on a few ways to cope with this “mom life.” I’m here to share and to learn from you, too.
Whether you mother an infant, a toddler or a teen, an empty nest or a full one, you're not alone.
No matter what kind of mom you are – no matter what’s outnumbering you today – there’s hope and help.
Hang on, Mom!

Great point, Laura. I do think fleeting "grateful" thoughts about others. Now I need to make sure I take the time to say them.
