Do you ever have your kids blame you for them having a bad day?

I really had a hard time knowing what to tell my kids about why their father & I were getting divorced, since it was his idea and frankly I didn't even understand myself why he wanted to leave, so I just said something vague.

Hi there! It's definitely an irritable and "crabby" time, but maybe some empathy with her.... she's "losing" too as the family evolves.


Talk to her.... tell her that you ARE feeling more emotional than usual as things change, and that you'll work harder to try and not let that affect your parenting her, however, the same household rules apply and schoolwork has always... and will always continue to.... come before computer time, etc.
