Question
Our 3 and 5 yo girls are driving us crazy. Several times a day, they disobey, fight, tease, tell us "No!", act out as we are trying to get out the door, etc. Our anger can get the best of us. After asking/telling them calmly to do something several times, we often end up YELLING at them or spanking them to get the result we need. It usually works, but in the end, I feel horrible for "the scene" that ensues...crying, tears, our anger. I wonder how others handle these situations so calmly. We rarely go on family outings because it is so frustrating and exhausting.
