]]> By: Kimberly Hawley https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/angry-mother/#comment-42563 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=11186#comment-42563 I absolutely LOVED this article. It resonated with me so much that I cried. I know those days, doing everything and being so tired and worn out that you snap and don’t mean to, and the guilt comes from it. You handled the Wilbur incident gracefully and I appreciate this advice and will try it! Thank you.

]]> By: Amanda https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/angry-mother/#comment-39380 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=11186#comment-39380 I’m reading this after a tough morning and afternoon with a 1 and almost 3 year old. I googled: “how to not be an angry mom” – that’s how desperate I am. You said exactly what I feel, “how can I add exercise and more to my plate when I’m already stretched so thin”? It makes no sense. I’m about to order your book and tomorrow I’m getting some comfortable hair ties and I’m going to try my hardest, because the guilt and shame cycle need to stop.

Thank you for you for being so open and honest. It has really helped this broken mom today

I think I get angry too easily.
Will follow your suggestions.
Thank you for touching this issue because many parents denied that they get angry easily. They always blame kids for getting angry.

]]> By: Jess https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/angry-mother/#comment-7600 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=11186#comment-7600 Thank you for this! I really needed it, with a 8 month baby at home I have been very angry with my daughter (she is 10) I notice it has been getting worse, every night I try to reconnect but the next day I start all over again.
Will definitely start using the hair ties!
Thank you

It is a real struggle, which might not seem like a big deal but it is, oh it is… We want our kids to have the best of everything including the best of us. So many mistakes can be avoided if we just observe ourselves more and find that one thing that would bring peace and harmony into our routine..You offer a simple solution like we have honestly not seen before. Will share this with all our mamas and daddas.

I’m going to be giving it a try- if I can find enough hairties in one place :) Might be placing an order just for this. I too really struggle sometimes with my preschool age child- it’s hard to remember how much they are learning and growing and experimenting with the best intentions.

LeeAnn – if you have an app like NoteBook or Clearly – they let you copy the post without all the distractions. I would think you could then print them. Hope this helps.

]]> By: Terry https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/angry-mother/#comment-7281 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=11186#comment-7281 Really great post, Kelly! I just started your blogging course and wanted to see your writing style. What can I say? I’m really glad to be learning from someone as gifted as you are! Plus, as a mom of many for the last 38 years, I can attest to the need for props to keep us on track with our anger. I started using notes written on construction paper when my second child was little – 36 years ago. And I still tell others about how much they helped me! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Valerie! If you have the paperback version of the book, inside you’ll find instructions for getting the accompanying printable workbook. :-) Hope that helps!

]]> By: Valerie https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/angry-mother/#comment-7120 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=11186#comment-7120 Hello, I got a used copy of the book, How do I get the workbook to go with it?

]]> By: Jerri https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/angry-mother/#comment-7022 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=11186#comment-7022 Kelly! I wish I had found you 8 years ago!!! (even though you posted this article 2 years ago!) I just happened to come across this seriously, by the grace of God! I love how you told your daughter that Wilbur is one of a kind with “her” tatoos! Great going mom! You are an inspiration and I am looking forward to reading more! Going to the store today to get my hair ties! Can’t thank you enough! GENTLENESS is KEY! ;)
