Do as I say, not as I do....

[Hannah]

So, I just practically yelled "Be nice to your sister, use a gentle voice" to my dd. Tell me I'm not the only bad Mom around...

[Heather in the Kootenays]

At least you saw yourself doing it.

:grouphug:

[Lizzie in Ma]

In fact, I am fairly sure yelling at the 8 year old for not watching the time and having a hissy fit because I was not dressed or ready to take her to gymnastics yesterday gets at least the silver medal for worst mom. :D

[Cadam]

I will just say that I have out paced you in this department so far that you are eating my dust. We will leave it at that and not get into the gory details. Unfortunately you have to get up pretty early in the morning to beat me at "worst mom of the year". :glare:

[Sophia]

yep,:blushing: btdt.

[Trivium Academy]

No, you're not alone. I've even gone so far as to yell over my screaming ds4, "Yelling does not get you what you want!!!" Lol.

[threetreasurs]

Happens here more than I car to admit!:confused:

[WendyK]

LOL...who hasn't done that? ;)

So, I just practically yelled "Be nice to your sister, use a gentle voice" to my dd. Tell me I'm not the only bad Mom around...

Practically? Practically? I don't think that would even qualify you for semi-finals of the township Bad Mom contest, let alone get you into the regionals! Of course, I'm a yeller....trying to reform. I did wonderfully yesterday....didn't yell at anybody once. Oh yeah, I worked a 12-hr shift at the hospital and only saw my dc for 1 hr at night when I got home....Does that count?
BTW anyone who admits to not being perfect automatically has my goodwill and good thoughts. This is a tough job with demanding bosses and very critical "shareholders." AND somebody shredded the training manual!
