YOU RUIN MY LIFE MOOMY (YOU RUIN MY CAKE BAAKRY)
SO, I always said that the first time any of my kids said "I hate you, Mommy!" I'd throw myself a party, complete with cake. Well, the blessed moment has arrived. A couple nights ago after I told her to stop slamming herself against the wall, Valentine (clearly not pleased with me) cried "You ruined my life, Mommy!" So, after I put her in time out and we had a talk about the difference between telling someone you feel angry at them vs being mean to them because you're angry, I decided that hell yeah, I was going to go to the store and buy my damn cake.
I think the misspellings make the cake even better, personally.
For the record, Valentine apologized afterwards. I wasn't even mad. ;)

This actually brought a little tear to my eye, not kidding. So awesome that you talk to her about ways to express her feelings instead of punishing or ignoring her for them. You're a good mommy. <3

It's really important to me to let her express herself and not shame her for feeling anger or sadness, coz' when I was growing up that's what my family did to me. If I cried, I got made fun of and my mom would taunt me to try and provoke me into crying so she could get in my face and yell "Cry, baby, cry". I wasn't allowed to be angry either, I got punished and told I was nasty for it. To this day I get -really- uncomfortable crying in front of anyone, even Arty. And it's like, I was a little kid when this all started going down. I look at my own kids and I can't imagine doing something like that to them.
My upbringing was similar in that any expression that wasn't happiness or complacency (aka, nothing even slightly inconvenient for my parents) was met with derision or violence. I still have problems expressing myself, especially so where anger is concerned, which is why this touched me so much.
