[quote=Anonymous]Losing it over safety issues: ok in my book. Screaming at a kid when they run away in a parking lot or dash out toward a street .... if that's the ONLY time you scream, it'll make a serious impression. Good. Losing it when a kid forcefully and repeatedly pushes your buttons hard: not ideal, but understandable if it's once in a blue moon. See above ... you want losing it to be so rare that it REALLY means something when you do. Losing it on a regular enough of a basis that the kids start to think "mom's going to scream at me if I do this (somewhat innocuous thing)" or "dad might be in a yelling mood when he gets home, I should stay in my room for now": not good. If kids are living their day to day lives wondering when the next blow up will occur ... that impacts them in deep and serious ways. [/quote]
