[QUOTE="ShakinThingzUp, post: 95508, member: 4250"] I developed a "code" with my kids. The phrase I used was "you've hit that nerve." I told them that "I can take a lot, I put up with a lot, but sometimes you get to that point of annoying me that I can't take anymore and I'm going to scream at you." We discussed that no one wanted me to blow my top and scream, so in order to avoid it --- when I use that phrase, they were to back down and leave the room and we would talk when everyone calmed down. The trick to it, is not to overuse it. You can't do it every time they get on your nerves, only when you've really reached the boiling point. For me, it bought me 30 minutes of peace on occasion when I had just "had enough." And yes........ I agree, I've felt like popping everyone's head off within my reach on occasion..... why stop with one! God Bless! Amy [/QUOTE]
