…to The Robyn’s Nest:

I’m so excited to announce that I’ve written a children’s picture book. It’s in the hands of my illustrator right now, and then I’ll work on getting it ready to self-publish in the fall. I’m heading off the the Vision Christian Writers Conference in California on March 27, but after that I hope to add a form here so people can sign up to get news as this book moves closer to publication. For now, you can email me at robyn@robynmulder.com and I’ll make sure you get on the list and find out more in the months ahead. Pray for me as I figure out all of the steps to getting this book out into the world! ~Robyn

You have reached the website of writer, editor, and speaker Robyn Mulder in Volga, South Dakota. This website 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. We lived through it and now my nest is empty. I’m entering another season of life, but I still want to provide support and encouragement for moms who might be struggling with anger toward their children.

Feel free to email me at robyn @ robynmulder.com (take out the spaces, of course) if you have any questions or want to share some of your own experiences with being an angry mom (past or present). Moms need to support each other!

Many of my articles explore how our faith affects our parenting, marriage, and our emotional health. I also cover these topics on my blog at robynmulder.com. I encourage you to head over there and check it out!

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’m 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. I can empathize with the anger you feel toward your children at times, but I cannot sympathize with you when you continue to act in angry ways. We need to be moms who act gentle, loving, and kind most of the time—so let’s not be satisfied until those are the characteristics which we normally show.

When you need a rest, come back to The Nest!
