But I also remember the countless times he took me on days out, the times he gave me advice, and the times we just sat and watched TV together. The good times massively outweigh the bad. You, and I, and my dad, and everyone else: we're only human. And sometimes, anger can be good. Don't let it eat you inside.Benhttp://blog.benwakeling.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-33748274373968465212010-05-06T01:03:51.635-07:002010-05-06T01:03:51.635-07:00Shelle,

There is really no reason for the children to know about most of it.<br /><br />I want them to recognize that it is ok to feel whatever it is they're feeling and to understand that parents are human too.<br /><br />They need to see that there are limits and that there are consequences for exceeding them. I just wish that they didn't see that.<br /><br />But,what is done is done. Good thing that I didn't like the damn table anyway. ;)Jack Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625864271071630940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-17607642660012794652010-05-05T13:22:44.384-07:002010-05-05T13:22:44.384-07:00I can count on one hand the number of times I saw ...I can count on one hand the number of times I saw my dad get really angry as a kid. I don't recall any broken coffee tables, but his uncharacteristic reactions were similar. What I wish he had done - as you did with your son regarding the cell phone incident - was talk more openly about feelings in general - so that the outbursts came in the context of a normal, healthy emotional life. Sounds to me like you're laying the groundwork for your kids to understand how to handle their feelings - the strong ones and the mild ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
