It's ok to lose it

Hi Reader, I used to think a good mom never yelled. If I snapped, I had failed, and the whole day was "ruined" by one bad moment. I didn't know that what I did after the yelling mattered more than trying to never yell again. On Sunday, I wrote about what that looks like in this post. Settle the body first. Then go back and say what happened in a sentence or two: what happened, what was mine, and what I'll try next time. No long speech, and no waiting for our kids to say it's okay. Coming back...
