The only way I can calm down is to walk away from the situation. I don't have kids yet, but I do have two dogs. My dog, who is an angel, and my husbands dog (I mean monster). Sometimes I just have to put the monster in his kennel and walk away. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do that with children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-temper#post-137535 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:15:28 +0000 chopsuey 137535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't! I get annoyed with people easily though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-temper#post-137529 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:13:59 +0000 BSB 137529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a temper only when I'm PMSing. I am passive aggressive and stubborn. I can bottle things up and explode at a later date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-temper#post-137510 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:04:03 +0000 Honeybee 137510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a temper, but even as someone who is pretty easy going, toddlers especially can be very trying on the nerves. Sigh. Some days are more of a struggle than others, but if I start to feel like I'm losing my temper, I just close my eyes for a minute and try to regain control. Then I deal with the situation at hand as quickly as possible and find some way to get a few minutes to myself so I can calm down all the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-temper#post-137494 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:57:42 +0000 lilteacherbee 137494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I do. However, around my students at school I'm usually VERY patient (which is a must with 17 little kids). I hope I'm like that with my own LOs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-temper#post-137392 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:16:38 +0000 lavender 137392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a temper, just passive aggressive and stubborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-temper#post-137374 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:08:02 +0000 Jumpingjacks 137374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, but only rarely and I hate it. It makes me feel awful if it flares up. I don't think its my natural tendency. My parents were yellers and I think I learned it from them. I don't want to be a yeller with my kid, but I don't have one yet so don't know if it will rear its head. I try very hard to rationalize situations when I feel my temper coming on and this helps. I prefer to be calm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-temper#post-137358 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:57:40 +0000 Alivoo01 137358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately, I do. Nervous how this will affect my future pregnancy and raising the kiddos since they said the fetus can feel and absorb the "temper". :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-temper#post-137244 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:43:55 +0000 mrsjyw 137244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I'm stubborn and headstrong and have a loud voice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-temper#post-137233 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:39:44 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 137233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't have a temper at all. I can't even remember the last time I raised my voice to yell (except maybe at a sports game). I tend to get more sad and sulky during/after fights or when I am frustrated.<br /> My DH is the one with the temper. I was raised in a house where it was NEVER okay to raise your voice at anyone, so at first his temper freaked me out. But I have just learned that we all handle our emotions differently! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-temper#post-137180 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:20:15 +0000 banana 137180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do but not that bad. But my husband definitely does. When he's about to lose his temper, he just lets out a big SIGH and walks away. I worried about him and his temper before having our son but he loves his SO much that it keeps him under control. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-temper#post-137172 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:18:05 +0000 heffalump 137172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a temper at all. When I start getting frusterated with lo, like if I need to change her diaper and she's crazy wiggly and rolling over and crawling away, I usually just take a step back, look at the situation, and start laughing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-temper#post-137165 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:15:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 137165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I have a temper and I'm very stubborn! I have tried to keep it in check over the years, but sometimes it flares up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-temper#post-137159 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:14:16 +0000 mediagirl 137159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a temper, I'm not afraid to admit it, it's a part of me. I do worry about my temper and parenting. Do you have a temper? How do you manage it when you get frustrated with your child/children? </p>
