Here is the question:
What is the stupidest thing you have ever said to your kids when you were frustrated with them?
Mine personally was just the other day. I had asked and asked my kids upstairs to PUHLEEASE stop fighting. Finally, in a final attempt to make them stop I screamed something to this effect up the stairs:
"I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU KIDS DO NOT STOP I AM COMING UP THERE WITH A SWORD!!"
I swear I said that lol. And then afterwards I thought to myself, "Damn you just sounded moronic, you don't even have a sword"

That's one of the funniest responses I've heard in a while.....and I'm still laughing....
You'll get through it...and so will your kids...don't worry about damaging their psyches.....once they turn 21, it's their job to fix anything you've done...AND.....you've got a sense of humour....and they know it.
I used to tell my son...
'Come here and let me choke the life out of you'. He'd immediately present his neck to my hands. To us, it was a tension reliever. He's twenty and I still say it to him........
