You know I have learned that being okay with letting my children see me fail (even with them sometimes) and grow and learn from my mistakes is one of the best gifts I can give them. They will lose it sometimes in life and they need to know they are capable of recovering and making amends. I DO NOT view this as a free pass to be overbearing or hurtful to my children but rather as an opportunity for learning - for us all. <br /><br />I think the only thing I am very careful with is ensuring my children never feel responsible for my (re)actions. I own my words and actions, regardless of what they are doing or saying. They do not make me angry, I choose to express myself in an inappropriate manner which is why I find a genuine and honest apology to be so critical. <br /><br />Thanks again, it was fun to find you!<br />A.mamacomedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01811141651370451077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285157814109847072.post-13301466234811796422010-08-12T20:38:29.162-05:002010-08-12T20:38:29.162-05:00Oh, this is so beautiful and wonderful.

I make a point of not shouting, but now and then Jeremy and I go at it. I am passionate, as he is, and Luna is too (she already has her passionate/angry faces, which I so love), so we'll see, but I'm working at balance.<br /><br />Rock Star sounds like quite a person! I love that he said this, "cookoo in my coconut"! How funny. <br /><br />We all need this fighting spirit now and then. I know I did growing up. I think it shows that, as you point out yourself, we have self-worth, that we believe in ourselves, that we love ourselves. <br /><br />But for your to admit your fault and apologize ... that takes a different sort of courage, a humbled courage. I admire that.<br /><br />I'm glad you came by. I look forward to reading some of your other posts :).Julianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03554000437755608662noreply@blogger.com
