[quote=Anonymous]Lots of good advice here. I'll add that I find it useful to remember that *I* can apologize. I can change my mind. So if I find myself down the parenting rabbit hole sometimes, wondering how the hell I got dug in on something that really doesn't matter that much, I can take it back. In fact, I think it is instructive for kids to hear you say sometimes, "You know, I thought about it some more, and I may have been wrong." or "I lost my temper this morning, and I'm sorry about that. I am upset about x and y, but I shouldn't have yelled." I also completely agree with the PP above about focusing on your goal. If you want x to happen, ignore the eye-rolling as long as x is happening.[/quote]
