People are so different, aren’t they? In the whole 37+ years that we have been married, we have never raised our voices with each other. Not once. We have been mad (of course) but when we get mad, we just separate ourselves from each other for a while until we can cool down and talk about it. I don’t think our kids ever witnessed a fight. And they aren’t yellers either…
They aren’t pushovers, they are very assertive to their significant others, but they don’t yell either.
My folks would have some “words” but really didn’t scream at each other either, and neither did my husband’s parents…so it must be that we just didn’t see that kind of thing.
It would make me nervous! ha

Well it sounds like you’ve had it up to here *pointing to moon* – no seriously, it is good that you share anger. People get mad, it’s all part of life. We have been working on the yelling and slamming at our place just because I crave calm environments but it doesn’t always work that well. Time outs are the best solution though, even if it means hidiing out in the bathroom sipping a little glass of wine.

I run away. That’s how I cope. I get in the car and I go somewhere. I run on my favorite trail or actually go to the gym… I shop or just go to the mall and have a cinnabon…

Just one MORE example of how we must be blood-related somehow! I have vowed to stop the mommy tantrums. But alas, I haven’t. *sigh* As always, it is refreshing to read moms freeing up the rest of us to face our mutual parenthood woes!!! Thanks!

Maybe I need to have more tantrums and not let them build up. They might not be so scary that way. .-= Tara R.´s last blog ..Holiday Cookie Exchange 2009 =-.

Oh mommy has tantrums over here. I end up in time out. I find myself starting to yell and I just retreat to my room. Or I put on headphones and pretend I can’t hear them.

I’m so mature, you know?

What makes me feel better when I am having a perfectly acceptable Mommy tantrum is to think of one of my favorite movies, Mommy Dearest, when Faye Dunaway is pruning the roses. And I think, "I'm not half so bad as HER." .-= Nicole´s last blog ..The horrifying, jaw-droppingly disgraceful thing I did at my high school reunion =-.

So THAT’S what it’s called when I get mad and crazy at them! Thank you for finally giving it a name. I actually had one tonight. And then they asked “are you going to blog about this”. And so I just might. Just to piss them off like they pissed me off (sticking my tongue out immaturely).

I feel so liberated knowing I’m not alone.

I was in the middle of a mommy tantrum tonight when I retreated to my room to VENT and tweet! UGH... this was such a good read. I feel better now, as I shove Mac and cheese down my picky friggin kids throats because they wouldnt eat what I cooked! Thankfully I have a teenager who likes to cook some simple stuff for the picky other two!! You go GIRL!! .-= Jenn´s last blog ..Monday Mingle 11/30 =-.

OMG! I can’t tell you how good it feels to read this! I’m sorry that you are forced to have mommy tantrums… but I seriously thought that I was a horrible mom and that I was one of the only moms who does this. I hope you find some peace today!
