many. it usually begins with get out of bed or you won't get breakfast. today began that way but oddly we all mellowed out and i didn't even wince when reese fell into her soup at lunch. even dan was surprised! however, i stepped back in to routine as i yelled for the girls to sit at the table and write their thank-you cards and feel thankful....dang it!!
Fortunately, I did not yell at my kid at all today. Seems I did all that years ago, and she grew up into a wonderful person, who does not need any correction now. Maybe you need to remember that when you feel like a bad mom......stay strong; this is your job for now, and the pay-off may take many years to be visible. Love ya.....Mom
Hi, I'm Tali, an old (it's all relative really) friend of Harlan's from UR. I yell at my son (he turned 13 today) at least once a day for repeat offenses. I don't know why I bother since they are repeated offenses. My 16-yo daughter has finally gotten it and rarely needs reminding.
Honestly, it depends on the day. I probably have to yell at the big kids three times a day (to be heard when I want the fight to stop). The youngest requires little yelling right now--I'm sure she will grow into it. But some days are worse than others...
