I feel like I am constantly yelling at them, while other parents look as though it is going smooth. IIN.
@Gunmetal: He needs to see a member of his local council? What might they do? :P
Why do you yell at them so much? Like what do they do? I don't know you but it sounds like you have temper problems..just sayin.
Are you crazy!? Dont yell at your kids on vacation! You go to have fun not get mad! If you're being too strict on vacation maybe take some chocolate milk and a hula dress with you, that should help everything. But im not telling you how to raise ur kids, yell at them if they are bad but not over really small stuff, If they spill orange soda on your carpet... its time for a spankin, but if they drop an icecream on accident at the park that was 5 dollars just say "thats ok but its coming out of your allowance and you cant have anymore for 3 weeks :)"
Disneyland/world is a rip off, financially speaking. It is crowded, and the anticipation is much greater than the actual " fun" anyone has at one of these parks. So, although your children may not be on their best behavior, the frustration you are feeling maybe a combination of many of these factors (e.g., cost, crowds, actual experience vs. anticipated experience, etc.) So, save yourself and your family from unneccessary aggrevation and get a slip 'n slide and forget Mickey!
Now when you are at Disney, are the kids just
#1 super excited about being there?
or
#2 are they just being obnoxious little sh*ts?
if you answered #1 then you need to relax! you took your kid there to have fun! so let them be excited! just let them know they need to be on their best behavior.
if you answered #2 then i hate to say it, but you probably didnt teach your kids to mind you, or anyone else. which doesnt mean you are a bad parent, maybe they are just hard headed little ankle biters.
Whenever u feel yourself getting angry, take a deep breath and calm down, this will definetly help
