Unless there is an active emergency that requires immediate action, there is no reason to scream at your children. Especially not for just asking a question.

Parents’ job is to control their own emotions.

Normal and OK are different things. My personal belief is that there are more bad parents than people think there are. So perhaps what you describe might be normal. But that’s definitely not OK.

its understandable to feel a certain way, but its the choice of acting on those emotions that separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom.

normal prolly isnt the best term… i think ‘appropriate’ would fit better, and no, its not the best course of action.

Nope.

This behavior is abusive. Talk to your school social worker. They specialize in this. They’ll also tell you what they can/will share, and what is considered confidential, so you can start vague and choose your comfort zone from there.

Nah not really normal, but can’t be helped
