[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing wrong with apologizing to your child. Tell her you were upset and you are sorry and you were wrong. It’s a new day and you will try to do better.

Signed, Mom who has yelled plenty.[/quote]

Yes to this. I’m less likely to yell than I am to go silent-mad, but either way I always sit down with my kid later and talk through what happened, apologize if I need to, and let her know that being frustrated with someone you love doesn’t negate the love.

Lately we also talk a lot in our house about how everyone (read: mommy) needs alone time because the 24/7 togetherness, compounded by having a child who is extremely attached to me at the moment, has really been fraying Mommy’s nerves.[/quote]

You guys are awesome. I wish I had had the same growing up! I’m a mom now and I’m doing what you’re doing and it’s nice to read these types of things because it helps me know that I’m doing the right things and that what I grew up with was NOT okay (screaming, out of control rages for the slightest of infractions that usually resulted in her beating me while my enabling father looked on or pretended it wasn’t happening). And don’t worry, I don’t have contact with either of the psychopaths who raised me. [/quote]
