I love the presoak idea--I need to work on that! Between not sleeping well and preggo hormones, my shout trigger has been very easy to pull lately. I know it makes my kids cringe and the one inside can't be loving it, either! Tomorrow I'll try chanting "gentle cycle, gentle cycle..." ;) This is a great post!

Just today I used my pre-soak (but never thought of it that way until you mentioned it!) voice to my little grandson who had a little pee accident (well, I had told him to pee at least 10 times before the accident) on my favorite carpet. He reacted to my pre-soak with genuine apology and love. The Shout would have soiled him more than words can explain. Love your wisdom...

My husband and I try to remember to "soak" when dealing with our sons because raising our voices just gets everyone upset (even those not involved). Of course, we are not perfect, but now I'm going to set my bottle of SHOUT out on the counter as a reminder! Thanks for those laundry lessons!!

Now it's not even worth the trouble to argue about anything. We already know what the other one is going to say. And half the time, we're too tired to notice or care when we are disagreeing, anyway.

Our first fight (one week of marriage) was about laundry detergent. He wanted Tide (the only one that cleans!) and I wanted All (because it was advertised for cold water and he insisted his t-shirts must be washed in cold water.) Ahh, breathing deeply before a response is something I have LEARNED to do. (learned the hard way. PJ Your analogy made me laugh. Our first fight (one week of marriage) was about laundry detergent.
