Fourth. The way you write it, it sounds like your parents were sneering or making fun of you when they said it. That might be what is really bothering you. I never talk down to my kids and didn't even when they were toddlers. Children are not tiny adults, but they do deserve to be treated with respect.

I think you're probably right with this. Man, this is becoming a serious issue with me, isn't it?

So many parenting things cause me blind rage. But at their core, they're probably the right thing to do -- it's just the immense lack of respect when they're executed that ends up pissing me off. Except I end up blaming the surface action instead?

Third. As I recall you have a baby in the house. Yes? I am already getting enjoyment out of visualizing you handling this situation with your own child.

Yeah, that's why I'm trying to figure this shit out. If have insecurities, I need to figure out what they are and get over them so I can do this stuff the right way (whatever that is).
