Most of us, when family life is running with fair smoothness, get cross or angry only during occasional crises, though as we all know, there are more of these on some days than others. A loving parent who feels angry most of the time is suffering from real emotional strain and deserves help from a psychiatrist or a social worker.
The way we avoid irritation the rest of the time, whether we realize it or not, is by keeping our children under responsible control and by being extra firm or sufficiently disapproving when things first threaten to go wrong. Such firmness is one aspect of parental love. Firmness by keeping children on the right track, keeps them lovable. And they love us for keeping them out of troubles.
