[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a difficult, very stubborn, extremely explosive child, and that kind of thing has been said a time or two in my household. What matters is how you handle it when you say something you don't mean, because chances are high that your son will also say things he didn't mean to you or to other people in his life as he grows up. Own that you did it, apologize, and show him how you are trying to make changes (for example, I told my son that I realized I said things in frustration when I was getting frustrated, and now I tell him I am taking a time out from the situation so I won't get so frustrated.) Try not to compare yourself and your parenting with parents of children who have more easygoing temperaments than your child does. [/quote]
