.... Lately it seems that things are so close to the surface that a comment can lead to a snap can lead to arguing in 4 seconds and sometimes we don't catch ourselves before we realize what we're doing with daughter right there. It was never physical, just words, but I always felt bad that our daughter saw her parents behaving that way. I don't want her to think that it is an acceptable behavior.
But walking out on your family, IS acceptable behaviour?
again... I suggest to you that you re-examine what you are really teaching your daughter, by your actions.
Do you want to teach your daughter, "when the going gets tough.. the tough get going.. right out the door", Or do you want to teach her the value of controlling your own tongue?
