I grew up in a very stereotypical home. I had no clue kids could behave as mine did. My husband and I read every book and article we could get our hands on. We saw therapists and doctors. None of them were able to completely figure out how they ticked. Our parenting had to be individually tailored to each kid. What worked with one didn't work on the other. I got glares, comments and dirty looks from many parents. I always felt like I need to hand out disclaimer pamphlets to explain our particular situation and why I was parenting the way I did. It was a very lonesome time! Adults didn't want my kids playing with their kids because they didn't understand them. It was hurtful. <br /><br />I really appreciate you bringing this topic out in the open. You can't judge a book by its cover!

As adults we have choice, can hopefully make sensible decisions and reason with situations where emotional conflict in our own lives affects our judgement.<br />We all have those tough days, no money, stress at work and general conflict BUT when has it ever been right to raise our voices to children, feed them rubbish, teach them how to behave in social situations, babysit you child through computer aided consoles! IT isn't!<br />A poorly written article that certainly doesn't touch on the bigger picture in society right now!! Nobody is perfect, we know that but when you bring a child into this world you have a right to treat them with respect and teach them the skills to become confident adults and respect the word NO. Without that that a child will mirror behaviour regardless of whether it has had a bad day, is stressed at work or needs an easy life. Behaviour breeds behaviour without reason.

I've been thinking all week about a dad who was holding the hands of his two little boys (5 and 6, approximately) while screaming obscenities at his wife who was walking behind him. The littlest son was terrified and bawling. <br /><br />Now, do I know what kind of pressure this guy is under? No. Do I know if his wife cheated on or something? No. But I do know that sometimes, your kids are terrified and you need to be the adult and hold off on a confrontation--especially with your spouse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385734613853151197.post-74747838602661603632015-07-16T10:06:27.519-06:002015-07-16T10:06:27.519-06:00Thank you, thank you, thank you for this.

But by and large, I think that most parents probably are doing their best.<br />I have a short temper, unfortunately. When I tell my little boy to stop doing something, in a gentle way, and he just won't do it, then I get mad. I think it's because I feel so helpless and hurt. Why won't he just listen to me? I love him, I do so much for him, and he'll completely ignore me sometimes. So I snap. If anyone saw me snap, they wouldn't know about the times I sit him in my lap, without him having to ask me, and read story after story after story; they wouldn't know the times I've put down what I was doing and listened to him; they wouldn't know I hug him every night before bed and tell him 'I love you', or that I give him a kiss in the morning before I go to work, even if he's asleep; they wouldn't know how I pray for him. All they see is that one moment when I snap and show my temper, and that's all they think they need to know. They don't realize that when I do it, I myself feel like a terrible person. I hate getting angry, even at the moment I'm doing so. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
