I agree Dinah, it's horrible to hear yourself in your kids isnt it? I cringe when I think of the times I've yelled and screeched. In the bad old days I did it to the dogs a LOT. I was so stressed and I guess the dogs seemed a better option than the kids - not that they were immune to it sadly. Now I only have one of those dogs, he's 15 years old and I still feel bad about it, though I didnt physically hurt him.
I have two new dogs, they are 2 years old and because I'm calmer I honestly think they are happier dogs.
And of course, the kids dont have to listen to me shouting. I hope they dont remember to much about how I used to be.
Regards
Jo
