Just Curious About Your Craziest Moment...

My only crazy moments come when my husband is in manic mode and finally drives me to the brink of frustration and I yell at him for awhile and spill out all the frustration I harbor while dealing with the madness.
Good thing he never remembers what I said when he finally gets back to normal.

When it's just kiddo and me'self... The house rules are:

When is it okay to yell?

When there's danger, or you're far away.

In the past 7 months, I've broken this rule twice and shouted his name twice in irritation. Which is about my norm. 2-3 times a year. typically, the angrier I get the quieter I get. It's a learned thing. I grew up in a LOUD family, and hated the constant yelling.

Craziest moment would be a Debbie Downer response... When my ex was still living here... So I'll pass!

99 times out of 100, though (when it's just kiddo and I), if I'm angry enough to yell it makes a GREAT photograph... So I get the camera instead! I've NEVER regretted getting the camera!

One of the nice things about the danger or far away rule... If I raise my voice? INSTANT attention/action.

Last October I threw my cell phone at the wall and my laptop at The Man.

Not a banner moment. Sigh.

Least no one was hurt.

There were no kids around and it was not about kids anyway.

I think the MOST maddening frustration is born of the truest love.

:)

One of the best "craziest" moments in our house was when the kids were running around screaming and having a good ol' time. I asked them to be quiet...and they kept screaming. I'd finally had enough and screamed at the top of my lungs "QUIT SCREAMING!!!!"

They all stopped and stared at me. Yeah, not a great M. moment...also screaming isn't the greatest way to get the kids to stop screaming, lol!

I am going to be honest here-I have been yelling alot more-I know it is counter productive but I do it when I am stressed-which is all I am at the moment. My parents were yellers and I absolutely HATED being yelled at but it seems like I slip into doing it waaaayyy to often now-not good.

What do you want, crazy or loud? I am usually rather quiet when I am crazy. Loud tends to be my sane moments.

What was the question again? :)

I have the patience of Job and the temper of the Godfather. :p

gosh this morning

M.:Emmy we're going to be late , come here i have to do your hair
emmy: mom wait up I'm doing the stuffed animals hair
M.: emmy i have to be in work, you can do that later
emmy: yea but its very impt
M.: Emmmmmmmmyyyyyyy seriously come onnnn!

With 2 boys (3 counting hubby) there is WAY more yelling that I would like. My craziest moment was before we had kids. I was upset with hubby over something (can't even remember what now !) and was cleaning out the refrigerator. I got so mad at him that I grabbed the head of lettuce and threw it. It missed him but scattered all over 2 rooms. He just laughed like a loon and I had to hunt down small pieces of lettuce !

I raise my voice more often then I would like too and what triggers it is the 4 year old not listening after I ask him to do something 2 or 3 or 4 times. I've been out of line a few times...but can't think of a crazy moment....hopefullly since I can't remember neither will my 4 year old.

LOL I just yelled at my husband about the Affordable Care Act. I would love to throw something at him right now he's being so inflammatory and ignorant right now. I save most of my craziness for him.

My family has driven me to it. They ALL claim they don't hear me ask even though I've repeated myself in my inside voice at least three times! (And by inside voice, I don't mean the voices inside my head! LOL)

At that point, the frustration rises as does the volume. And so I yell to be heard, in the first place.

My husband misplaces and looses things frequently. I was ranting at him one evening about the missing debit card, yet again, and found it in MY pants pocket. Luckily my husband is very easy going, forgiving, and has a sense of humor.

I hate having to yell but I get so frustrated with telling my son not to pour water all over the bathroom floor during his baths for the 500th time. Seriously, it like they think I enjoy yelling about it. Also when they play in the toilet...(3 year old can open the bathroom door now, it is a new thing) 2 nights ago they were giving 3 stuffed animals a "bath" in the potty and then they were covered in toilet water, the animals were DONE, and the bathroom floor was covered. I was not a happy camper. So yea, sometimes I just can not take 10 seconds to cool off, especially when it comes to my children being covered in bacteria and foulness. So I hate repeating myself but I really need to learn how to take a few and stay calm.
Oh and to answer your question it happens more when I am PMSing but usually 2-3 times a week.

My younger daughter cries a lot. She's 7 months old and screams at the top of her lungs whenever I put her down. And she's done it since birth. That being said, my craziest moment recently was last week when I threw the hamper down the stairs out of frustration. All my husband said: "was it full?" Lol.

Once p/ month... gee... wonder why that is... My hormones are the trigger and I yell "you're driving me crazy" and then immediately regret it. Not too bad in the scheme of things as we're usually on a pretty even kiel. I have yelled when danger is perceived but obviously different story.

Gee - it's been so long, I've got to think about it for a moment or two.
I think when my son was a toddler was the most difficult time.
There was one time when he came running up and pushed a door as hard as he could while I was behind it picking something up and the door knob banged me on my head and I just bawled the pain was so sudden and sharp.
My husband picked my son up by the front of his shirt, planted him in bed (child is screaming now because he's not knowing what is gong on) and Dad told him to STAY THERE - DON'T MOVE - and then Dad sees to me and gets some ice for my head.
After I stopped seeing stars, we could all calm down a bit and we had a talk with child about he's getting stronger and he's got to be careful about being gentle so he doesn't hurt other people.
He didn't mean to hurt me (he didn't mean for the door knob to hit my head) but he was very upset he hurt Mommy.

at least once a day when i am pmsing, i never used to raise my voice, but they are old enough now that i shouldn't have to tell them at all, let alone 3 times, to put their shoes on it's time to go.

I do need to cool it though because i would never think about yelling when my hormones are undercontrol.

I'm a pretty melow person. But, what gets me to be upset and yell is if I am telling them to do something and they don't do it after the 5th time of me telling them, then I start to get a little frusturated
