I did, and I felt much better afterward. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alte Veste Academy Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 One time I was yelling at my kids about something, and dh told me I needed a time-out and go to my room. I did, and I felt much better afterward. :lol: This happened here too. It's a minute for each year of age so I got 37 minutes! :D It was heavenly! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Well heck yeah but I don't think that it would do much to improve my behavior. That would be more like a reward for me. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merry gardens Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 send you to your room? Really, if my daughter behaved as I sometimes do, she'd go to her room. well, she does . . . I guess that's where she gets it. :001_huh: Yes. I give my childen one minute per year of age for time-out. I'd love to be left alone to be by myself without interuption for that long! When I over-react, I'm usually overly tired and feeling overwhelmed. Time to myself would be nice....We should send ourselves to time-out before we misbehave.

Oak Knoll Mom Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I've often wished someone would tell me that I *must* go take a nap. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I was waiting for the kids to finish gymnastics a few weeks ago when one of the siblings in the lobby, maybe 18 months, had a screaming, kicking, fist-pounding-on-the-floor-missed-her-nap kind of tantrum. Her mother calmly picked her up and took her out to the car... for... you guessed it... a nap. If I could do that and have someone put me down for a nap.... I would in a trice.

Rosie_0801 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'm quite willing to send myself to my room, but people follow me. Somehow, even when tired, overwhelmed and yelling, I'm still a cool person to my baby and toddler.:confused: :001_wub: Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanestMomInMidwest Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I send myself to my room. I'll just tell the kids I'm crabby. Sometimes I have to apologize to them for something, then tell them I have a bad attitude and need a few minutes alone in my room to change my attitude. My kids (like Rosie's) tend to want to follow me everywhere, but they give me time to adjust my attitude. Just like I give them time to adjust theirs when needed.

laurad1125 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I've often wished someone would tell me that I *must* go take a nap. :D Absolutely! Why do we resist something we need so much? I will agonize about should I or shouldn't I, but when I take one, everything always looks better. I'm so fortunate. When dh comes home and I sheepishly admit I took a nap today, he always replies, "Good!" with a smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Do I ever wish someone would come along and ? Yes, on occasion when I'm feeling incredibly insane. Thankfully, tonight is not one those nights. I have smilies now. I feel a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
