OK Erin add onto normal parenting the fact that I am so old that I am going thru menopause and my kids still fall into the 5-15 range. My family basically had to do an intervention I was yelling so much. The only person i believed was Jen.The doctor doesn’t want to give me hormone replacement therapy cause its cancer causing and my husband keeps saying..”really, is it really that risky to take the estrogen?”. Its a win win for him…I’m nice for a couple of years and then he gets the insurance money. So no matter how much you yell, rest assured I’m yelling more.

Jason you are hilarious. Thank you for reading and validating my frustrations. My room of choice is the bathroom. It’s the only room in the house that has a lock and a access to water for some of my “extended stays”. xoxo

I grew up around yelling and always promised myself I would not yell at my kids. Well, that didn’t last long once I started staying home with the kids on a daily basis. At times, I feel like I’m the only parent who raises their voice at their children. Thanks Erin, for showing us that we are indeed not alone. It helps to talk about how frustrating parenting can be. I once went into the garage, shut the door (ok, I slammed the damn thing) and yelled as loud as I could. I composed myself and opened the door to see my two children staring at me as if I was the crazy one. Then they both started crying and saying that they would listen and not hit each other if daddy promised never to “die” like that again. Next time, I’ll scream into a pillow followed by a shot of Jack Daniels… or two.

Omg! This has definitely been me this week. I so needed to read this! It’s so nice to know I am not alone. I too have been googling ways to stay calm and not react too quickly. It’s not easy but it’s doable. I love your blog Erin. Great stuff!
