[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had this precise thing happen and I get it. It's hard in that moment not to be upset even when you can rationalize and say to yourself "it's my own fault for expecting a child this age to not spill a drink near an expensive electronic." But those are thoughts and your anger is the feeling. But I worked through it. [b]Something that helps me in those situations is to think about how I want my child to remember the incident in 20 years. Do I want them to remember me being furious with them or me handling it calmly?[/b] Thinking about that really helps me get the emotional distance I need.[/quote] Excellent advice. I’m so sorry this happened to you, OP.[/quote]
