[quote=Anonymous]I think cursing, throwing things, and name calling obviously cross a line. And anything implying your kids are stupid/annoying. I lose it at my kids, but usually it’s when I’m trying to do something and can’t because they’re fighting (e.g. I have something on the stove that is going to burn and they decide right then to lose their minds at each other). Sometimes in those moments I’ll snap and say something like “That’s it, screen time is about to be gone for the week!” I’ve realized when I start making threats like that I’m usually not as in control as I want to be and I’m just grasping. My oldest cries when I yell like that so I don’t like to do that often. I’ll add that when I yell I usually apologize while also explaining why I was so upset and what we can all do better next time to avoid the blow up. [/quote]
