I ...Every night. I so get that. So understand you.<br /><br />I remember asking my mother what she would have done differently with me and my brother. She told me should wouldn't have yelled as much. Funny thing is, I don't remember her ever yelling. I remember the family dinners, the holidays, me fighting with my brother, but not her yelling.<br /><br />That gives me hope that I'm not burning an ugly memory into my boys. Children are resilient creatures :)<br /><br />That also explains why we can yell at them about the same thing, over and over and over.<br /><br />Sigh.<br /><br />XOAshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16041241998702255016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-83894402450361795482011-07-02T07:15:39.239-04:002011-07-02T07:15:39.239-04:00These boys are enough to send you over the edge......These boys are enough to send you over the edge...seriously...they're a different species.

And I, too, promise myself that I will be better and more patient and calmer and a better role model. But I relapse so much sooner than I thought I would and the cycle continues. Argh. Anyway, this made me laugh and appreciate that I'm nowhere near alone in this. One other thing that helps is knowing that my son came by his bad temper honestly, and at least I can relate to his explosions!

I don't know very many moms that make it without screaming at least every now and then. <br /><br />I go through phases, but it's tough. The guilt later kills me, but in the moment I am so angry, so frustrated that nothing seems more logical than to freak out.<br /><br />About every six months I read a different discipline book and then feel better for a while, then it begins again. I just keep hoping it changes when they outgrow the tantrum stuff...but maybe I have to out grow the tantrum stuff first? <br /><br />Ugh, these thoughts require wine.<br /><br />Great post!The Mommy Therapyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497632312075770712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-13421060072268496712011-06-29T23:04:11.790-04:002011-06-29T23:04:11.790-04:00I scream at my kids.

I can't even go to the bathroom or take a shower without them banging on the door. My daughter, I really think she tries to be a brat. She does things purposely to make her brothers or me mad. The boys will ask her to please stop doing something (sometimes they say it nicely) and she will just keep doing it anyway, or I will tell her to stop doing something and she will look me right in the eye and just keep doing it. I always think, "I'll be calmer tomorrow", sometimes I am, sometimes I'm not. My kids drive me insane, lol.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12866181421636225099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-33825633038543481932011-06-29T19:33:45.359-04:002011-06-29T19:33:45.359-04:00Oh, Shell, I don't think you're alone at a...Oh, Shell, I don't think you're alone at all - and I'll bet you'll find that in the responses on this post. <br /><br />EVERY momma has her moments of yelling.
