If you'd like a short e-mail announcement whenever I update The Robyn's Nest, you can e-mail me at robynmulder@hotmail.com and I'll get you on the list. Don't worry, I won't send you tons of e-mails.
You have reached the home page of Robyn Mulder, in Allison, Iowa. This web site is devoted to helping mothers of all ages, but especially those who have young children. Moms with preschool age children face challenges and situations which can be very frustrating at this point in life. I especially want to support and encourage mothers who are going through a great deal of anger toward their children. I went through a time like that when my oldest daughter was about 2 years old. You can read more about it on the page with My Life Story . I want to make a couple of things clear before you begin exploring this site. First of all, I am not a trained counselor. I am just a mom who wants to help other moms by sharing my thoughts here and by pointing you to helpful links and resources. Please do not hesitate to seek professional help if you know that you cannot control your anger and you are abusing your children, physically or emotionally. This is not a site to come and visit when you are feeling guilty, so that you can say to yourself, “Oh good, I’m not the only one who feels this way.” I can empathize with the anger you feel toward your children at times, but I will not sympathize with you when you continue to act in angry ways. God wants us to act gentle, loving, and kind - so let’s not be satisfied until those are the characteristics which we normally show. I will try to be more consistent and update this site once a month, so come back often and visit. When you need a rest, come back to the Nest!
