That’s interesting, I like it. Reminds me of another piece of parenting advice I heard, to not give your kids empty praise to avoid them growing up spoiled or entitled but still making them feel loved and supported. So if they get an A on a test don’t say “you’re so clever” say “see how clever you are to have studied hard for that.” It makes sense.Say yes to your kids rather than no. As in kid says "can I watch TV/Youtube? etc" rather than saying "no you've got homework to do", say "yes you can as soon as you've done your homework". Obviously doesn't work in every situation but it does work most of the time.
I HATE “everything happens for a reason” it’s such bullshitWhen somebody told me "everything happens for a reason" three days after my dad died, I stopped speaking to them.
This is good because I'm like that (0-100) at a particular time of the month. It's like a red mist descends upon me and my parents used to joke that I'm a diva but it wasnt funny for me.Can I control this? To any situation that leaves me stressed out. Nob pulled out in front of me, can I control it? No. Flip him the bird and carry on with my day. Kids being bullied. Can I control it? To an extent, stay composed and factual.
Has worked to say I used to be 0-100 and very emotional!
have you heard of pmdd @ebayseller ? I had a hysterectomy this year as my temper/ mood swings after my last child were horrific. Diagnosed with pmdd a year after she was born. If you find it hard to deal with there are some fantastic support groups.This is good because I'm like that (0-100) at a particular time of the month.

Yes, thank you I recently found out about it on here and now everything makes complete sense! It's definitely better knowing 'why' as I can brace myself for it. I hope you're ok after your hysterectomy that's a big op!have you heard of pmdd @ebayseller ? I had a hysterectomy this year as my temper/ mood swings after my last child were horrific.

It was life changing for the best. Cry occasionally when I torture myself with OBEM, but it’s nice being aware of things and feeling p***ed off without it ending with suicidal thoughts. Knowledge is power, you’re on the right track lovely xxxYes, thank you I recently found out about it on here and now everything makes complete sense!

I have just read up on pmdd from seeing this post and honestly feel like that could be me. My moods are horrendous in the weeks leading up to my time of the month. They were nowhere near this bad before my second child.have you heard of pmdd @ebayseller ? I had a hysterectomy this year as my temper/ mood swings after my last child were horrific.
