Question:


Where is your breaking point?  What absolutely makes you tick so much that you feel if you "don't walk away NOW" that someone will get seriously hurt?

I'm just wondering if people are more patient than I am.

There are days when I need to back away , so I don't lose it with my kids.

But on another point..my dh works long hours and had a long hours at church for 3 years at church. I finally couldn't do it all anymore.I needed help with the kids.

Many times during the week.

These days, even just a funny look will be enough!

Seriously though, it's usually with my kids being so demanding, crabby, bickering and not listening. When I find myself yelling, it's a lost cause and that's when I lock myself in my room to calm down. My kids know that when I do that - they've crossed the line big time. And they start trying to work things out. I'm not saying I've managed to get away in time... because that's so not true. Ugh.

Good to meet you, how did you get that picture of me?? My breaking point comes when I find the kids have emptied the entire bottle of new shampoo, AGAIN, into the bathtub while I went to answer the phone. Bare bottoms never look so appealing.

Pointless bickering between my children.

How is it that they can be playing perfectly sweetly together, and the second I leave the room it's, Mommy she's touching me! or, Mommy she took my (fill-in-the-blank)! or, Ouch! Mah-ooomm! (followed by tears).

Of course, being pregnanct, my boiling point has decreased significantly so small things rile me up pretty easily.
