[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is pretty horrible. I hope you get anger management, OP. There's a difference between "You need to follow through with commitments / treat others nicely / etc" and "You're an a$$hole." [/quote]

LOLZ. OP here. Got teens?  I didn't shout it. I said something much more appropriate. Are you on meds? Just curious. Because I am seriously willing to bet that MOST parents of teens have felt this way at some point after witnessing an amazing chain of boneheaded behavior in a single morning. And if you have honestly never felt this way, I would love to know why. [/quote]

We're human.  Children don't need to see perfection, they need to see real life.[/quote]

+2 it is just as harmful to never yell or get frustrated with your children as it is to always yell at them at the drop of a hat.

Eventually somebody... a boss, a coach, a friend, etc are going to yell at them. They need to learn how to deal with this. [/quote] This.  Our role as parents is to help them prepare for life.  People will get frustrated with them. People will express that frustration.  They need to know that people will notice if they are acting like assholes and they don't have their shit together and not everyone is going to pussyfoot around like the perfect DCUM moms.  [/quote]

You get an A+ for rationalization of poor parenting behavior. Yes, eventually someone will become frustrated and yell at our children; however, raising resilient children doesn't mean we need to yell at them and curse them. In fact, they'll be more confident and resilient if they're feeling secure and not having to wonder if the erratic temper of a parent is going to erupt on yet another day.[/quote] [b]You get the award for poor reading comprehension. [/b] [/quote]

Continue as you wish. No reading comprehension issues were indicated by the PP.[/quote]
