I have, however, tried to reserve shouting for those moments when I really want my kids to understand that I am Very Very Cross with them, and I am trying harder not to shout just because I need to let off steam. I do agree with you though, LML, that the security of a loving home environment is the perfect place for kids to learn that people shout for various reasons, and although sometimes it's because you provoked them, sometimes it really isn't your own fault. <br />As for sleep... Some nights I have the discipline to go to bed before 10pm; other nights I feel reckless and cannot resist sitting up until midnight with a good book or a DVD or a stack of irresistible blog posts to read... like the night before last, when I literally could not put down "The Help" - fantastic read, for those who haven't yet had the pleasure!Katriinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403719183047819222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668756162872571497.post-29622780752908165842012-03-06T10:35:59.186+02:002012-03-06T10:35:59.186+02:00Oh yeah, when it comes to learning Finnish, our Fi...Oh yeah, when it comes to learning Finnish, our Finnish teacher always says: "Learning Finnish is like one step forward, two steps back."

And I think I do endorse the sentiment behind it. My reservation (you'd guessed I had one...)? That shouting, anger, frustration, and management of all those "negative" (I've put that into inverted commas as even the negative fulfills a purpose - even if it is simply catharsis) emotions are important things to learn from within the safety of a secure and loving home. It is important that my children see disagreement and the occasional frustrated shout or scream - that they experience this from the safety of their family. And sometimes - for a child - the safest expression of their frustration for instance is a shout or scream.<br />I've 5 children. I work f/t - and have done for the greatest bulk of their lives. I've had my share of doubt and despair and tiredness - like the vast majority of parents who will manage their way through periods like this, finding solutions that work for them. I've no doubt your way will work for you. <br />I also admire your discipline re sleep - I realised a long time ago that reading that last chapter in bed at midnight was "not a good idea" ... but sometimes the desire to do something satisfying and for myself (regardless of time) would win out...sansserifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445280597626572292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668756162872571497.post-5120285725286823582012-03-04T11:08:23.987+02:002012-03-04T11:08:23.987+02:00Sleep is so important.

It is not always under our control - particularly when we have little ones, but it is so important to get right that I have learnt to try harder to make sure that I sleep as well as I can. I used to really struggle to go to bed very early - but now I know that if the kids are sick, then getting to bed early is going to serve me much better than an hour extra reading/tv/internet. I also have tried to accept that on days when I am short of sleep my outlook on life is going to be bleaker, my temper shorter - by actively noticing this, and actively giving myself some slack, and reminding myself that the sun will rise again, I have found it a little easier to cope, (mostly - my husband may disagree!!) .

The sisters have to support one another (tho the brothers are permitted to support us from time to time too...)!<br />Isn't this the fab thing about the net - that we discover such a commonality of experience and emotion and (well, all of the rest).<br />I had a good productive day today. I was thanked for my clear-sightedness and the solutions I presented. Woohoo. (Just had to share that cos it never really does feel real til you've told someone else!)<br />I am sitting in tonight - though I did say to my eldest that I would meet her in the pub... Maybe a short sleep will get my middle-aged bones feeling capable of walking up there to see her...

I have a feeling that (apart from the weather, which has been relentlessly gloomy for much of the past few months) sleep is one of the biggest things at the root of my current issues, and that once I manage to get a good 6 or 7 hours' uninterrupted sleep I will be on track for a better head-state. I'm not surprised that you are feeling a bit angry right now, given how sick your little ones have been lately. No doubt they have sapped every last bit of your energy. Pretty hard to be a sweet and patient yet ruthlessly effective mum when you are exhausted to your very core...Katriinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403719183047819222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668756162872571497.post-4122013341164127992012-03-01T14:54:22.157+02:002012-03-01T14:54:22.157+02:00Elena, I fear that I too am going to have more bad...Elena, I fear that I too am going to have more bad-head-state days before the winter is through.

As you know, at times like these I cling desperately to my hypnotherapy and subliminal affirmation music to get me through. Last night I downloaded a billion anger management apps - some music, some hypnosis. I want to be one of those mums who can whisper quietly at their children and they magically respond. So far I am pretty proficient at yelling. I am in the process of changing that- one second at a time....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668756162872571497.post-49941835407323415532012-02-29T23:19:02.538+02:002012-02-29T23:19:02.538+02:00Wow.

It's seriously amazing what kind of effect that thing can have on our moods. I tend to get the doldrums at this point every winter, though, so I guess I'm anticipating a few more depressed days coming up. <br /><br />By the way, I'd like to give your blog a little plug in an upcoming post. I'll be writing about my favorite blogs, of which yours is definitely one.
