Their just kids. They don't know better. That is what your trying to do, teach them right and wrong. Getting mad and yellin ain't gonna help anything. However, an *** whooping will help. I know I had plenty and I turned out just fine. Just remember, you don't have to hit hard to make a 2 year old think your beating them. With my Goddaughters I would hold their hand and slap it with my fingers, but my hand hitting my other hand would make a loud pop. They would cry like you would not belive, but the fact is no harm was done. They just "think" they got it big time.

I can't do it. I went and got on anti-depressants and anxiety medicine. It helped me for a little while but I had to stop taking it due to side effects. Now that I am off the medicine, I am crazy once again.
My daughter doesn't listen and doesn't think that she needs to respect me. I think it is because I am still a young mother and I tried to be a cool mom and be her friend. Now, she really doesn't see me as a mother. I think she views me as more of an older sister that she wants to fight with. I am going nuts trying to turn this around so I can get some order in our lives.
The only thing I can do now to control my temper is to just stop and walk away and go into another room and remember to breathe.

First: make them put their noses on the wall.
Second: Count from 20 (or 50 or 100, whatever) to 0.
Third: Consider the situation as if it were someone else's child. What should THAT parent do.
Fourth: Come up with a fair punishment, suitable for the crime.

First of all always remember that you were a kid once. If you must walk away, scream into a pillow until your frustrations are out. Then calmly talk with your child and explain to them why their behavior is unacceptable. It sounds like a "Super Nanny" answer but its better than beating a child who doesn't know better, who is learning by making mistakes, who is looking to you for guidance. If you feel that it is too much call someone to take your kids off your hands for awhile, if it continues to become unbearable, contact a Dr/counselor.

Breathe. Count if you have to, close your eyes if that helps also.
If you seem to feel a great amount of tension when the kids misbehave consider outside influences to your emotions. Try and deal with stresses that don't have anything to do with the kids first, to avoid taking it out on the children.

very challenging. i'm glad you realize you made a mistake by trying to be cool and her friend. talk to her about that. let her know that now you are stepping into the parent role. take back your power. if there are things you are unsure about, don't let her see that doubt. be in control, in all things, including your temper. it's hard, i know. you don't want her growing up remembering all the times you lost your temper. psyche yourself up, i am her mother, i am the adult here, and i am in total control repeat throughout the day in the mirror to yourself.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO JUST WALK AWAY. OFTEN TIMES WHEN CHILDREN ARE BEING MISCHIEVOUS, THEY ARE REALLY SAYING " I NEED TIME WITH YOU MOM AND DAD". PARENTING IS DIFFICULT. DON'T ALLOW THE CHILDREN TO BE IN CONTROL. IF YOU MUST, WALK AWAY AND REVISIT THE ISSUE AFTER YOU CALM DOWN.
