[QUOTE="Malika, post: 531699, member: 11227"] I have not said, and do not believe, that one should never get angry with children or scold them or that doing so is some kind of "failure". That really isn't my point! My point is that J is extraordinarily difficult and obstructive, at times, seemingly for the sake of it and that this would try the patience of a saint. In other words I am talking about the difficulty of dealing with a difficult child, not the general difficulty of being a parent. But I think you hit the nail on the head, whatamess, and it was interesting to look at it in a way that had not actually occurred to me - that's it, I think it is all a whim that doesn't actually mean very much at all on J's side, and I am getting "hooked" into it and giving it energy by getting angry at his apparent difficultness. Being light is the way out of this, as it so often is with J (and maybe all kids?) and the way to keep us both out of the red zone :) [/QUOTE]
