Oh dear! You poor thing... I do hope you feel better soon.

Thank you. It's really driving me crazy. I had a horrible weekend and I need to get better cause it's my B-day this weekend. :)

My hubby and I had a tough childhood growing up and we vowed that we would learn from it and our kids are the fruit of that.

Which is proof positive that people can grow and learn from horrible experiences.

Just the fact that you'd even offer is enough. *hugs*

Yes. We put our minds to it and when we started to fall short, we had no problems saying it to each other. But the difference is, we didn't yell at each other, hubby and I would sit down and talk about it like adults. Then we'd call the kids in, apologize and promise to do better next time.

Wow! My dad almost never apologises - I can probably count the number of occasions on the fingers of one hand and have fingers left over!

I think it's very important for parents to be able to do that. As parents, we do make mistakes. I do believe that that has played a big part in the relationship we have developed with our kids.

Of course - we're none of us infallible. But my dad can't accept that...
