domino effect in anger

well yeah it does and always if im not in the mood or been upset of something..i hate my mood actually and appreciate my husband for have such patience on me when im not really in the mood or something...but im slowly trying to change it and hope i will succeed...those children are grown up now and does need any unreasonable outbursts..

It happens to all of us, I'm sure. it seems funny the way you describe it and may seem funny to the family afterwards.it sure isn't funny when it happens though

[i]Hi Hatley, hmm..When I was single and staying with parents, when one is angry, the other one will always tease...Like when Dad is angry, the rest of the family will tease him so it will end up laughing and teasing, we never had any anger that was pass through because if it is very serious, the rest of the family will keep quiet and just listen! With my hubby, same story, when I am mad, he will not stop teasing me and when I am very serious about it, he will just shutt up and then wait until I will calm down![/i]

Sometimes we get into a cycle without even realizing it's happening. Somewhere the cycle has to be changed. Since it's harder to change others than yourself I'd suggest that when you find yourself in this cycle...take time to slow down, collect yourself and instead of passing it on, stop it right at you. Before long the cycle will be broken. It's not as easy as it sounds but it might work out for you. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~ [/b]

Everyday of our lives, ROFLMBO. Yes I think every family has the Domino effect if they are human. Why does it seem like it always starts with the man. I thought that was maybe just at my house, but it seems it is everywhere. I guess maybe it goes back to the biblical, the man being the head of the household. I can be upset with one of the kids and not take it out on anyone else, or with strangers, but let me be upset with the hubby and domino's start toppling. Thanks for sharing it feels good to know I am not the only one. Blessings Marilyn

Yep - usually it's when the husband is grumpy with me it get passed on to the kids or the pets. Sometimes is back and forth onto each other though. But I don't like anger so usually I just bite my tongue.

Your story is really funny and I could actually imagine all the racket the whole thing created! Yup this is something common that has happened one time or another to me. Good thing is that it doesn't happen that often. LOL!

Hi Patsie, Yes I have observed that domino effect both in myself and others. It is a shame though sometimes a mortal blessing that most of us are not able to control our feelings and emotions. You may apply to the Bene Gesserit sisterhood but I don't think they would take me. What we can do is to reflect when this happens so that we can strive to NOT repeat the same mistake. It would do our loved ones no good to suffer our temper for something through no fault of theirs. Cheers! PS.: It is understandable though in that sometimes we just need to yell and hurt someone (probably due to our barbaric roots) just so we can vent away the anger and be at peace once again.

Hi Hatley, I think every household has experienced this one from time to time, but I like to have to domino effect of laughter going on in mine as often as possible and even impossible situations can be turned around on that too. My middle daughter is the first for starting the ange one though, she'll have the hump over a tect received and start moping and then someone will tell her to snap out of it and it all ends up out of hand, so these days we try to ignore it and carry on as usual so we all aren't in a bad mood because of it. Huggles. Ellie :D

It happened some times with us too. But I learned from experience. Once my wife gets angry, I keep myself quiet. I don't want to keep her anger longer and made other people be affected with it, especially me. (neildc @ red/89/1790)

yes and i wouldnt buy into it! when i lived at my daughters, her family done that to each other all the time. i on the other hand have always realised i should be angry only at the person im angry at. i used to point it out to them and refused to speak to any of them that took it out on me. until they would apoligise. it worked until i left. their now right back at it.

Hi Hatley! Yes, this is so true! I don't have the family anymore, but I do know exactly what you mean only now on a much smaller scale. In fact it happened last night. My boyfriend and I were arguing over some stuff and he got me really angry. I told him not to talk to me anymore last night and to just leave me alone. I was already in a bad mood because he had been making me angry for the last week along with some things that I have been going through myself. I was banging dishes in the kitchen and then the poor little cat came in to see me and I yelled at him to leave me alone! He didn't even do anything! He was just doing his usual whining to get my attention and I'm giving him a whole story about why he shouldn't bother me and how I'm in a really bad mood, like he would understand! Poor little cat! So yes, this is the domino effect, just a little bit smaller! If there were more people in the house it would have been a bigger effect!
