By the way, always means always.

I have never been a yeller until I had a family. Everyone else knows me as the shy and quiet one. Haha!

I have often said that the attributes I like least about my children are the ones they got from me.

I totally understand. I have an awful temper that gets unleashed upon my husband. Not too often though. Hubby is the same way. He goes silent, won’t fight, and walks away. Makes me furious. My 5-year-old son unfortunately inherited my temper. I almost have to laugh at myself when I talk to him about how to control it. Maybe I should try taking my own advice a bit better.

Oh, I can so relate! I try to let everything go, until it all builds up and I EXPLODE. And my husband sounds a lot like Steve – he gets quieter and quieter when he gets upset, so I just go at him. I often wish he would just fight back! You are not alone.

The hardest part is that the anger isn’t usually directed at my husband at first, it’s just he happens to be in the way when I reach my breaking point. After being on the recieving end of one of my four year olds fits, I did get a new appreciation for my husband and how much he tolerate’s my irrationality!

I second Kimberly’s post above. I too have a “mini-me” and am learning and growing with her, trying to avoid the pitfalls of having her mommy’s temper, sensitivity and anxiety. She may someday join me on the happy pill train, but it will be with a mom who is armed with way more information and understanding than mine was.

It’s posts like these that make me feel normal…and validated!

ughh, unfortunately this scenario is all too familiar to me. I always feel terrible after I lose it and start yelling, but it’s really hard to stop once it starts. And my son has inherited this too. Double guilt.

Ummm, sadly I TOTALLY understand. But my “4-yr-old” is now 13, and it’s doggone scary at times. Not an excuse, but I learned I have a hormone imbalance and now happily take one pill a day to make it easier on everyone around me.
