I have lived my entire life feeling exactly the same as you just expressed (and expressed VERY well.)and I am still wondering how much I damaged all of you. I think you all turned out AMAZINGLY wonderful despite me. Have hope!

Sometimes I give myself a timeout to go cool down in the other room or outside, and then when they are frustrated they will do that too.David, Melissa, and kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985876582126205198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387960451181800634.post-2401118758552351902014-01-03T10:59:19.126-08:002014-01-03T10:59:19.126-08:00I agree with Bethany.

I think that as long as parents can recognize when they've lost control of their emotions and apologize, kids bounce back okay. I know that I always appreciated when my dad would take the time to go in to my room after a fight and apologize for losing his temper and show that he still loves me. And I totally feel that this whole parenting thing is largely for us adults to learn. I don't think I am always the best parent to my son, but I am sure learning how to be a better parent and a better person. I think you are a really good mom and really admire how you've been handling three tinies! BRAVO! And London's sick allll the time too. It's frustrating. During the sick weeks/months, I'm convinced it's all about survival mode...do whatever you have to do to get through the day-it's okay.Scott & Megan Cardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00631051863036087090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387960451181800634.post-50005327934606693882014-01-03T08:16:13.328-08:002014-01-03T08:16:13.328-08:00I think it's healthy for kids to see their par...I think it's healthy for kids to see their parents frustrated. When he gets older you can talk to him about it after. I am constantly having to pull students aside and say, "the way I responded to you was not great, and not how I want to communicate. Ill try to be more patient when your bugging the SHIZ out of me." and I honestly think they appreciate an adult admitting their faults. Plus, we are not any worse off after hearing mom tell us "it's curtains!" or "I'm sick of this D-A-M-N mess". Especially because the breakdowns were balanced with many more moments of fun and love.<br />s.s. bazodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623567882912849621noreply@blogger.com
