I don’t like who I am when I am furious with my kids. I don’t like feeling like I’ve mistreated them. I think it’s the closest I ever really come to hating myself.

I thin it’s time to sleep on it, honestly – I can understand why you got upset though; your kids were on their less-than-best behavior, and that’s both embarassing as well as infuriating, especially since you were taking them out to the library… something they’ve yet to learn how to appreciate, perhaps. At the same time, though, you’re probably going to wake up tomorrow, and that feeling will have passed, leaving you free to address the new day as one, rathern than the continuation of a not-so-good day.
It does get better – trust me on that.
I hear you. I got mad at Alex way too often yesterday. And I’ve only got one.
I hope your kids are not like mine. They go out of their way to make me furious. I know they’re testing the limits but you’re right… when I do loose it, I feel like I’m the worst person in the world.
YEP!
It’s that angry monster lurking within…so scary when it comes out.
And then mad at yourself for letting it out.
I give my kids a couple of chances to listen to me with a nice quiet voice, and then boom! angry mommy comes out and punishments ensue.
My daughter does naughty things with a big smile on her face… it’s like a big challenge. Hey look mommy I’m hitting my brother on the head and I’m happy about it. argh! Then my son plays the victim and lets her hit him over and over hoping that his sister will get MORE time-outs. argh!
feeling angry just thinking about it all…
I don’t think girls are really taught how to deal with angry feelings.
My family just bottled it all up until it exploded all over a little thing after a lot of little things.
After a BAD day of too much angry, Ross lets me go out by myself (to Michaels? 🙂 for an hour or two and I come back feeling a lot better
aka. calmer.
