[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh for Pete's sake. It's OK to get mad at your kids! It's OK to correct them and, frankly, the people on here who think it's damaging to shout at your kids make me wonder what kind of fragile, grit-less children you are raising. You've never raised your voice? You've never gotten mad at them?

Good luck to those kids in adulthood. [/quote]

I've got to say I, too, take issue with the parents on here getting all preachy to OP about her feelings.  As OP said, she didn't say this, and even if she did she'd be far from alone.  (And if a little cursing crushes a child, god help them in the real world.)  I can't think of a friend of mine who hasn't griped to me in a similar vein about her teens.  And I know I've certainly felt that way with mine.  So get real, pretending our kids are perfect doesn't help anyone.  And there's way to much of that going on in the DMV.

For those lucky few who don't have teen issues, I know it's easy to be judge-y here, but take care, because you're certainly in the minority and your crack parenting skills likely have little to do with it.  You  never know when your doting tween is going to turn into a teen with issues you've never anticipated.  [/quote]
