Yes...I have this issue also...I calmly try my hardest to speak slowly and quietly... I mentally tell myself to, "chill"....The slower I talk, the more pissed I am...I have literally even said in conversations, "I'm not mad, I'm not mad, I'm not mad"... Over and over...LOL...As tho I am trying to convince myself and talk myself down. My daughter does what your kids do...When it's time for bed, and just whenever she feels like it...The first 3,4,5 (yes that many) times, I am calm....She may know that I am angry, but I am calm...After the 5th time, all gloves are off... I yell, and yes curse. I know, it's horrible...But being honest...
