My daughter hasn't started pushing boundaries yet (she's only 9 months old) but I know she will soon. Once she gets to the age where she knows better, it will be so hard. But then, my mom lost her shit and screamed swear words at us a number of times when we were little, and always apologized like you Arlennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04199564304824250359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97947582899206598.post-63533364937546256142010-09-11T08:34:34.355-07:002010-09-11T08:34:34.355-07:00You say you want to be the level headed, calm, rat...You say you want to be the level headed, calm, rational mom you never had.

It will happen again. What's important is not whether it will happen or when, but how you handle it afterwards. As parents we can't protect them from everything (including our moods and frustration), we can only help them heal. You did that when you talked to him afterwards.
