i'm using this board as my confessional tonight: i yelled at my child today. loudly. and i was mean. and i feel so ashamed about it. he's 3 and a real handful and i just lost it. but i just read a bunch of articles about anger management for parents and i resolve to do better starting tomorrow. i hope he doesn't feel sad about the way i treated him today. that sweet boy. i will do better tomorrow.

Yes you will and you can even apologize and tell him you will work hard to do better but the great thing about kids is they will forgive you instantly. [ Reply | More ]

I did that last month with my three year old, I was so mad at him. But like the above poster said, he did forgive me, and we haven't had a moment since. I think its good for him to see that I'm human too. [ Reply | More ]

btdt. Three is an incredibly hard age, and four is even worse. Try giving yourself a timeout when you feel like you're about to blow up. [ Reply | More ]

My husband doesn't help with my 3 kids b/c he doesn't feel like it, & especially this weekend w/ the oppressive heat in NYC we were all cranky. I find myself directing my anger at my husband at my kids when they start acting-out, too. I yell at them full-on with my entire potty mouth vocab. Help! What can I read to control or redirect my angry? How can I stop saying f**k to my kids. And, yes, I know therapy or divorce is the answer, but not working. [ Reply | More ]
