[QUOTE="Dancerat, post: 608334, member: 14984"] Hi Midwest Mom. I am not afraid to speak my mind exactly, it's more that I want to set a good example of how to parent. I want to be patient and firm, and not lose my temper. I want to not raise my voice, and yet say no calmly. I'm not afraid to have him be angry at me, and he is. He always is when I say no. But he's not going to kill me or hurt me. Even now, he has spent most of the day here with his friends, laughing about bedbugs in his motel with gfh, (ack BUGS! I swear everything gets fumigated when it comes in my house. ) and then chatting about the new iOS 7 and his new job. Wow. It's like old times. Until he makes the choice (thx MwM!) to bring drama and uproar in his life. Well, I'm cleaning out the guest room and watching Drop Dead Diva so I'm in my happy spot tonight... Gonna try and stay there for at least a couple of hours. I need to stay in control, even if he isn't. It's my role as a mother, I think. [/QUOTE]
