My DD is only 4 and has complained about me yelling at her. One night she was saying good-night to DH in the livingroom when I hear her tell him that she needs to go to her room before mommy yells at her. Made me feel awful that she thinks I'm yelling when I'm just calling for her to come to her room. Guess I need to change the tone in my voice.View Thread

We try to eat together every night as well but my girls are still little and are in bed by 7:15, so we have an early 5pm dinner. Some nights DH has to work late, so he's either coming home as we are finishing up or after we are finished. However, the weekend we have almost all of our meals together. Dinner is a fun time for us b/c we get to hear all of DD#1's stories about her day. Sometimes she seriously cracks us up with what she says. I too have come to love crockpot meals or make ahead casseroles that I just heat up. Not b/c I don't have a lot of time to cook (I'm home by 4:30) but DD#2 is VERY clingy when we get home and it's hard to cook with a toddler hanging onto my leg or crying that she's hungry.View Thread

To warn you, he will freak out when he's coming out of it b/c it's a crazy experience for kids. We could hear DD screaming before they allowed us to go back to see her but she wasn't hurt or in pain, she was just confused. So don't let that freak you out. Even once we went back to her, she was still confused that she continued to scream. It took about 20 minutes for her to snap out of it. THIS IS VERY COMMON!
Good luck! It's going to be harder on you than him.View Thread
