Did my Dad ever loose his shit when it came to his kids? As far as I can tell the answer is no. And I don't get that? Tonight I made dinner and got a seemingly well behaved group of kids to the table then...One child wouldn't eat because he didn't have the exact plate and utensils that he wanted another one proceeded to sneeze all over the serving bowl of pasta then a third proclaimed she wasn't eating anything, due to the sneeze sauce and who could really blame hwr. The first just kept getting louder crying and shouting while the third became increasingly obstinate. Then I lost my shit. Then the only child who had been good started crying and so did another. They were scared of the yelling. Ugh! What a mess!

I think you're being too hard on yourself. I've heard you so many times talking to a crying kid in dulcet tones--a blow-up isn't going to scar them. And, you're clearly bringing up smart, creative kids if one of them used the phrase "sneeze sauce"--amazing!
love, KA
