[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD was being a huge pain in the car during tonight's thunderstorm commute - trying to remove her seat belt, screaming that the wipers were too fast, etc. She had books and snacks and I got her dad on the hands free to talk to her so I could drive. Road conditions were awful. I finally screamed at her that I was trying to keep us alive and 5 is too old to behave like this. She got real quiet and withdrawn, which was both welcome and disturbing. We clash often but I don't usually yell - this was so loud my throat hurts. What, if anything, did I do wrong? [/quote] Nothing. Next time, she'll sit quietly in the car while you drive. Save the "nuclear" for stuff like this, though. It's fine for her to know that you have limits, and that she needs to respect them.[/quote]
