Fun new phrase
Anyone else notice that your kids only listen when you finally yell and get angry? The past 5 times that you reminded them nicely to finish there food was disregarded almost immediately.
So, tonight this familiar scene was acted out go the 437th time. I got angry, and I yelled. And then.... The tears start flowing, the face screws up into an open mouth wail, and--- "you hurt my feelings!"
Seriously?! How many times did I calmly ask you to eat your food? And when I yelled because you didn't listen you throw a fit because your FEELINGS were hurt?! You are lucky your butt doesn't hurt.
But really, this my fault. I should've told him once, gave him a warning, and then issued a punishment when he did not listen. But I didn't, so I got to deal with a fit. Thankfully it ended fairly quickly--he saw my face.
