[quote=Anonymous]I had a great childhood, Sahm, involved dad and mom whom I can talk to about anything and they always listen. They live 1000 miles away but we all get together here or there 2-3x a year, often with my siblings family. Then I had kids. And I realized what I used to call my mom’s occasional “shock and awe” speaking style when she wants you or her grandkids to do something was actually totally blame and shame. I cringe when she does it. Then I realized I do it to my kids when I’m exhausted or beaten down from my emotionally unavailable spouse. So I tell her not to speak that way. And I am working on not getting to points where I speak that way with the kids. Just a thought. Nothing major. Just want to break the cycle. [/quote]
