Are you bad-tempered when staying with your family?

Yes, I tend to get angry easier with those I know very well, such as family members. However, as I've grown older, I've become wary of losing my temper with family members, because it upsets me so much to do so. I still do it, but I work very hard indeed to avoid it.

During my childhood days, I was like you. I used to get angry easily with my family members. To the outside world, I was the cute, bubly, and well-mannered kinds. I changed my ways once I had a kid. I would not want to be treated the same way from my kid. It was then I learnt a lesson and am improving on it. The process is still on. It is also said that you get angry with people who love you a lot.

My husband is of that type. He always shows his anger on the family members more so on me, the wife. He says with outsiders I cannot show my anger and other bad feelings. But my family understands me and I can be free with them. But what I say, is family your dustbin to throw all your unwanted feelings? Are they not having emotions and self-respect? But what to do? Since he knows pretty well that we will not leave him, he takes advantage. Please do not show your anger on your family. Where will they go then?

I am always on the good mood when I am with my family. It is because I didnt grew up with my father thats why I am longing for him. Though I am now living with him because his contract abroad has finished already. I understand why he did that because he just want to give me a good education. Going back, I dont easily lose my temper when I am with my family it is because I want to build a good relationship with them. Though we cant manage to lose it for sometime but if there is a right reason then they will definitely understand me as much as I understand them.

i had a daughter that was like that and I never understood it. she had the coolest personality with her friends but when it came to her sisters and I....now that was another story. She was also very sweet to her dad who had so very little to do with her. I finally concluded that she was just so very comfortable with us and our love for her. Home was her place to let her guard down and vent. Most of the time when she would just start in on me about something silly i would later find that it was something outside of the home that was really really bothering her.
