[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 540615, member: 1514"] How funny that this comes up right after our trip to see my son and my daughter in law- the King and Queen of Screamers! They have two kids, 5 and almost 3, and are constantly screaming at them. Its actually miserable to be around them. One completely sad event happened over the weekend where my daughter in law was throwing a fit at my 5 year old granddaughter because she was overtired due to a full day playing and she was trying to get her to take her bath about 9 pm when tons of people were still at the house. Of course the kid didnt want to quit playing and start the wind down process for getting ready for bed and started to act out telling her mother things like "No!, I wont!, You cant make me, etc" Her mom just kept getting louder and louder screaming at her calling her horrible names and threatening her with everything especially us grandparents. What ensued was about half an hour of her screaming at her that she couldnt, then could, then couldnt, then could...come up and down the stairs. At the end she said...with all the horrible yelling we do and as much as she wont listen to me, she always wants to cuddle in my lap love on me. Yeah. I told her that my mother had abused me every which way from Sunday my entire life and I spent 45 years trying to figure out how to make her love me. Kids love their parents...mothers especially...because they are their parents. I have tried to make suggestions to my daughter in law about the yelling but it has fallen on deaf ears. I know they are going to have heck to pay with both those kids. [/QUOTE]
