you know, even though your a mom you cannot be expected not to lose your temper EVER.

I would sit him down, like the others say, and just be honest!

alot of times we overlook how smart children really are and how intuitive they are.

I personally would just explain that you were feeling angry and maybe frustrated, and that you said those things because you weren't sure what else to do at that time. I would also maybe use it as a chance to brainstorm ways to get around it happening again! This could be a wonderful way for you to teach your son to deal with anger or frustration!!

Maybe talk about what people can do other than yelling or calling names if angry. Ask him what he thinks is better? Maybe he will say something like jumping up and down, punching a pillow, anything, you know? The two of you can make it fun - maybe for every suggestion, you try it out even though your not mad right now.

It would also be a lovely opportunity to bond for you both!
