What do you think? Read the article below:

and here,

parentdish.com/2009/12/08/moms-with-young-kids-are-the-most-angry-americans/

Here is a quote:

“The University of Toronto study surveyed 1,800 Americans to get a better picture of anger in America, researcher Scott Schieman tells MSNBC. Among those who experience feelings of anger from mild annoyance to outright rage are parents of young children, and moms in particular report angry behaviors such as yelling.”
 
Frustration is the real issue, for the US is a civilization caught up in a politcal propaganda correct that says seeking wealth is what it is all about, yet is enslaved to a govenrment that demands Godlessness at the same time…

the greatest frustration we seek is this should be a site of the Catholic Faith that would be well grounded in the Catholic Faith and be a Powerfull Guide to People to come back to seeking God as their central mind, to recognize God as our real purpose and existence.

To go to NBC news and look for a guide to what should be is pure nuts,

The greatest failed Generation ever in world history, is today current failed generation in the US, ;has thrown off their Cross and now bears a even greater cross, to be passed on to the future generations to come…

People, you failed, and stop digging the hole deeper…
 
IMHO, I strongly suspect anything that comes from MSNBC or the Huffinton Post. Articles from there are designed to fuel the Liberal Democrat agenda.

Such articles perpetrate the idea of the Republican ‘War on Women’ and assists the ‘Victimization’ mentality.
 
You asked what do you think, well that is it, this site is devoid of the wisdom of the Catholic church that calls all People to follow Jesus, to pickup your cross and do as he taught in the beatitudes. but best bet is those that think they are leading, dont have a clue to what the Beatitudes say or mean to us, each and everyone.
 
Young kids, or kids of any age, are often disobedient or do dangerous stuff. So moms yell. Sometimes out of anger, other times frustration, oftentimes fear of safety.
Just today my 8yo daughter tried to pry a safety outlet cover off WITH A SCREWDRIVER. So yeah, she got an earful.
Also today, my 2yo daughter ran off with a toothbrush hanging out of her mouth and fell (this stunt has caused young ones to puncture the back of their throat and nick an artery, so this is very scary behavior). So she got hollered at, and a swat on the butt.
Does my yelling equate to an angry behavior? No way!
I am a very happy person. I love my life and feel like the most blessed person on the planet (whether or not that is true, that is how I feel). So I think studies like this are meant to be used as propaganda to further discourage women from childbearing and child rearing. Some so-called angry behaviors moms might self-report have very little to do with true anger problems, and more to do with keeping their little flock out of harm’s way and behavior in check.

‘Child proofing a house’ is one of the biggest fallacy’s ever. You can’t child proof a house, the best you can do is do things to slow them down. When my son was ~20 months I observed him defeat the child lock on a drawer, reach in feel around for and get a screwdriver, turn to the cabinets under the sink and use the screwdriver to pop-off the child lock strapped between the two knobs.

I think it is reasonable to call the emotion one feels when a small child does something dangerous that they know they shouldn’t be doing “anger”. However, I think it is normal, temporary, acceptable anger. It certainly doesn’t constitute an “anger problem”. Moms experience more frequent occurances of regular anger because they have alot of responsibility and they are very personally and emotionally invested in being successful at that responsibility. In other words, they are angry because they care. I bet if someone did a study, they’d also be the demographic with the fastest rate of “getting over it”. Good mothers have to be good at forgiving mistakes and mishaps or they really will get an “anger problem!”

Very astute assessment. Yes, we do have frequent moments of anger, but that does not make us angry people. And we do love our kids so darn much that one little trembling lip or diamond tear is enough to start up our own sobs. Forgiveness is so easy, anger cannot last.

I know! We have realized how true that is more and more, with each child we have. You cannot child-proof a house, but you can house-proof a child. And with regards to slowing them down, that is all the good a baby gate ever does. Even a 1yo can overcome that. It is nothing but a visual reminder of the rules, because they are more than capable of defeating it! :D:rolleyes:

Unfortunatly, the same doesn’t always hold true for adults. I’ve had many baby/dog gate related bruises.
 
Is there some pro-contraception undertone in this “study”???, i.e. the whole “curse” of a child mentality…

Obviously no one conducting this “study” interviewed me. 😉

Motherhood has been the most tranquil time of my life so far. I feel sad that it isn’t for others.

If yelling ment being angry, all real perents would be angry alot no matter if the kids being yelled at were theirs or not. I never had any kids of my own, but dealing with other people’s kids and kids of the four footed kind (mostly kittens and puppies) sometimes they (the kids) should consider themselves lucky just to be yelled at. 🙂 😃 😛
 
I really laughed out loud when I read this thread title:-) I was thinking maybe working moms might be alittle more stressed since they are at work all day and then the kids really miss them and may act up more. The title makes it seem as the we are all walking around red faced and about to blow up:mad: I don’t agree with the articles at all. It’s all a normal part of raising children:D
