[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW I am a big fan of Janet Lansbury and she's pretty big on firm boundaries, and self-care for parents. I think people misinterpret this type of parenting all the time. Anyway, OP, this is an oxygen mask type of situation. Talk to your spouse, stat, and figure out what you need in the short-term to get immediate help. Hang in there. [/quote] Yeah. I think a lot of people are confused about the point of gentle parenting. The goal is to regulate your own emotions so you are a safe space for your kid, not to completely forgo discipline or consequences. If you "can't do" gentle parenting because you can't stop blowing up at your kids that's a problem. [/quote]
