[QUOTE="house of cards, post: 122209, member: 2005"] I realize people have differing views of spanking and I don't want a debate on that if possible. I will say I believe most of the difficult child's we are trying to raise do best with calm tones and no spanking, but my post wasn't about abuse...at least I didn't think so, just less then perfect or less then ideal parenting. I wanted to say that for me I find it easier to hit my ideals when I gave myself a break and stopped stressing myself with trying to be perfect. That was when I freed myself to just look at what worked best. Even in the mist of my deepest frustration I am looking for a solution or improvement, therefore when I lost it I didn't see improvement...I went backwards. Knowing that has made it easier for me to walk away or talk calm when I am anything but calm, it works, it just simply works the best. With that said, I still am not 100% but I'm doing OK. I've read posts were people have expressed their frustration and wanted to show a different way of looking at things that might help them find a way to stay calm in the hard times. It really helped me to let go of never doing it less then perfect. [/QUOTE]
