[QUOTE="totoro, post: 122245, member: 3155"] I am a totally perfect parent. Calm, inner peace. Always have the right answer for every situation... Oh, Ok maybe me not eating anything today has gone to my head? Ya' think? Just a few minute ago... little ol' me, so calm, working on my patience... for all these years. Who has been racing to the toilet, (sorry) all last night and today, and I feel like I have been hit by a truck. Well I have been whining to the girls to please stop kicking each other... in my pitiful pained voice... please stop. WHINE... husband is outside plowing all 3 of our's and neighbors houses, because yet again we are in the middle of a weather alert... another 16 inches on top of 5 feet!!! So the phone rings... it is one of N's classmates Mommies asking something about school... I hurt just getting up, feel like I should have a pair of depends on, again sorry!!! The girls start screaming!!! Louder, the dog is amping with them, I give the SHHH! Sign... nothing. The LOOK!!! Nothing... I can't leave the room, phone won't go out of room. It gets louder... they are throwing pillows at the dog now while screaming and jumping... I am barely able to hear anything. I am giving them every sign I can to ZIP IT!!! They completely ignore me... I finally get off the phone, stomach is turning, I am burning up, aching. I just lose it on them!!! Not a pretty moment in Totoro history. We have had this talk SO many times. They had to sit quietly for a few moments not touching each other and think... Just prior to that they were whining about how they never get anything special. So this was their thinking time. But I can't feel to bad... I do so much for them. But if a camera only caught that one instense it would have looked bad. I try to walk away, I try to take deep breathes and give myself a time out. I tell k that. I will say. You are making Mommy upset so i am walking away so I don't get mad... Or you are making Mommy sad right now so I am going to walk away for a minute... things like that. It does help us. [/QUOTE]
