[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I told my DD when she was 7 that she embarrassed me by refusing to go into camp. I once cried and told my 7 yo DS he hurt my feelings when I set up a day at the movies and his behavior was so bad we has to leave. I so regret putting that on them and wish I could take it back. It's too much pressure for a mother/child relationship. Both words haunt me too this day and my children are much older now.[/quote] You realm should let yourself off the hook. I'm sure they are over it. Your kids behaved badly and if they felt guilt well, that's life. That is how empathy is learned. It is not our job as parents to ensure that our children never feel badly. Sometimes there are good reasons for them to feel guilt or remorse. It's all in how you handle it, and in making sure to differentiate between the behavior being bad and the kid him or herself being bad.[/quote]
