I think somebody needs a nap.

[OnyxCougar]

I can tell when my kids need a nap because they do just get irritable and unreasonable, crying uncontrollably, etc.

I think that identifying the problems you have/had with your parents is a good thing, and simply ignoring that isn't the way to go about improving your parenting style or fixing any emotional wounds.

I was told to "get over it" when Steven was killed, and it never worked for me. I somehow had to figure out how to deal with the senselessness of it, and ONLY then could I move on.

We are not doomed to make the mistakes our parents made, we can learn from them and make a choice not to do that to our kids.

Ignoring it won't solve anything.


and on a side note to LJ...dude... Let Dave die. I've noticed you've brought him up in several threads. This is not "What would Dave do". There's a reason many folks didn't like him. I'd have thought you'd have picked up on that by now, with your prehensile whale penis and e'ythang.
