To Be or Not To Be... That's the question.

I've spent most of my working life with small children yes, I have had to be very patient! Saying that, I expect to explain something to a 2 year old several times before the understand. It's with older children or adults that my patience reaches its limit. I've become impatient with people when I've asked them a question and they've repeated themselves three times but not actually given me the answer to the question I asked. Some people have told me I have the patience of a saint. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either someone who makes me angry or someone who doesn't see the things that happen or who doesn't realise how long something has gone on before I get angry!

For me it is to train those who come here to help with household chores. I sometimes feel that doing is better than telling others how to do it (lol)

I am a patient person. My patience has been tried many times and I'm pretty good at holding my composure. =) I Home school my own children, I have taught at a Preschool, worked in Daycare's and I babysit now.

Some people can be slow to catch on to new tasks. There isn't much point in not being patient however.

Though i am not a patient person, but the situation you mentioned, i am a good and patient explainer! My juniors say that :)
