I just said the most profound shit to the kid and he ignored me so I am sharing it with you: There is a difference between being mad at someone and being mean to someone.

Your kid ignored you, and you didn't backhand him. Well done, using self control. Had I done that to my father, I would've woken up in next week. 🤷‍♀️ -E

The one I say to myself is just because I’m mad doesn’t mean I’m right.

That reminds me of the Kimochi sayings school kids are taught: It’s okay to be mad, not to be mean

Exactly this! You can be mad/sad/etc, but it’s not ok to be mean
