[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can relate.  I sometimes flip out like this, too.  Literally jumping up and down while screaming.  I hate it and the kids do, too.  It's gotten better of the last year because I used to have a very stressful job and it was much easier to set me off.  I've changed jobs and am much better able to roll with the punches (or get out in front of things).  But it still happens.

What occasionally (not consistently) works for me is that I actually tell the kids I'm about to flip.  "You know how sometimes I start screaming and yelling?  Well, I am one minute away from that unless you start doing what I ask."

The kids hate the flip-out, too.  Two will get in line immediately when they hear this.  The third is stubborn and persistent, but sometimes backs down, as well.

PP this is ridiculous. You need to see a therapist. You are setting your kids up to expect or repeat this type of behavior when they have their own families and households to manage. You are operating and reacting with the mentality of a child, and that's not okay. You are an adult, and a role model for your kids, and how they will treat their kids one day. Would you want them jumping and screaming at their kids?[/quote]
