Has anyone heard me yelling at my kids? Maybe not in public…. But at home, it does happen. And then when it happens… I get scolded at that why do you yell so much at them. And the only thing I have to say is that you heard me yell at them once…..but you did not hear me tell them nicely 26 times before I lost it.

And it’s true. I will tell them nicely once and twice and over and over again. Why don’t they listen? Why doesn’t anyone else listen and appreciate that! But that one time when I yell… the whole house comes to their rescue as if I’m committing a crime.

Yes…. I yelled…. But why did I yell? Why is it that just because I’m a mother I’m expected to have infinite amounts of patience. Has anyone thought about that. I’m sure all those people who write it in their books or blogs have never really dealt with their kids on a daily basis. Researchers and authors are surely busy researching and writing to even deal with this. You should ask their spouse. The true story will come out then

I try not to. I control myself. I tell myself every time that it won’t happen again and then they do something again….. or rather not do something again. What to say further…
