[quote=Anonymous]Oh OP, I feel for you. You can think it, but do not say it. You can punish your kids for saying it (it is ok to say you are angry but saying I hate you is not appropriate). You can say something like “ I know you feel angry and frustrated right now, I feel the same way”. Or you can give the more calm approach of “I am sorry you feel that way because I love you”. But try very, very hard to avoid saying hate. For kids to hear that from thier parents is scarring. And if you crack and do say it, apologize and explain you said things you do not mean in anger. My mom cracked and said some very hurtful things to me growing up. I am sure I deserved them, but it changed our relationship. It is not fair. But kids need to know thier parents love them, even when they do not like them. [/quote]
