We've all been there. No one wants their kid to remember them screaming and stressed. When I first had my son, I was so tired, I found myself in stress induced freak outs all the time. One day, I noticed my daughter looking at me like I was crazy. I knew the look because I used to give it to my mom. That was my eye opening moment. I've slipped once or twice since then, but not at all like I was before. Good luck! We all need it! Honestly, I pray for strength to be a better, more patient mom : ) .-= M.e.:Daily´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.lovemedaily.com/?p=352" rel="nofollow">Bountiful Cheer and Applause!

He asked hubby if he was going to come home. Hubby said of course why? Cuz you got mad at me. ..... Reality Check! We have since learned from that and decided no more yelling, we will talk everything out and not raise our voices. Our children are sensitive to this. I can do so much better as a parent.

He doesn't seem to remember things like don't play with the VCR. He does remember that he loved to sing Twinkle Twinkle with his grandfather who just passed away. Stopping from SITS!

And that would break my heart. And I know my 4 year old, and my 3 year old even, totally remember when I yell at them. I hate yelling, but sometimes I do. And it's not right of me to do so. And you wouldn't believe how amazing their memory is from a very young age. They do remember things. So it's extra important for us to remember - I have to constantly remmber this myself, you know?
