[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by “lost it?” Did you yell at them? Call names or use curse words? Did you slam the door? Give them some over the top consequence/punishment? Did you use physical violence in any way? I think in this situation where they did something dangerous that hurt you and could’ve hurt you/someone badly, yelling is a totally understandable reaction. But any of the other things above would be over the line. “Lost it” means different things to different people. I have kids the same ages. From time to time I lose my temper/get really upset w them and yell at them (I think most parents do) but if I overreact, I will apologize afterward. I don’t think yelling at them is a good thing and it’s something I try very hard not to do but it happens. Give yourself some more time to cool down and reevaluate your reaction then talk to them about it calmly when you’re ready.[/quote]

I yelled. I didn’t name call or curse, although I really felt the urge to use some strong language. I left the door open on purpose since DH was going out, so no door slamming. I did swear a lot when I told DH what happened (kids were outside, we were inside). [/quote]
