its usually related to frustration, like either them doing something I've told them not to do 100 times, OR unreasonable requests. Well that sounds mean. For example my 4 1/2 year old was going potty and wanted some books to read, asked me for 3 specific books. I said i wasn't sure if I could find them but I would look. I looked and couldn't find them but brought 3 others . I explained I couldn't find them but that was not acceptable. 4 yo got really upset and wanted me to go look again. I said she could either read what I gave her, or get down and go look herself or just not read any books. She insisted she knew where they were and I should go look but she didn't want to. I ended up yelling at her because I was feeling so frustrated. She is very specific in what she wants so much of the time and I can't make her happy. I know that's not my job to make her happy. But I ended up yelling and feeling horrible because she wouldn't accept any of the options i gave her. She finally ended up going to find them herself. . Or I yell when either one of them bothers with cat or dog to the point they are annoying the animals. They know the rules, the animals have places to get away from the children but they insist on pestering them over and over (waking them when they are asleep, hitting them on the head when my back is turned etc) I have yelled when I have caught them doing this. Of course it never helps, just makes me feel awful.
