The results of Project No Yell

So I lasted a week. But not without much frustrations. But I was able to control myself and keep from yelling. I was hoping since I made it a week with no yelling that I could last much longer. No such luck. These past two days have been pretty bad. Between L & J, frustrations are at a high point, so unfortunately I resorted to yelling.

Yesterday it took Z over an hour to eat a waffle! Yes, one waffle. And that's after constant harassment by myself and his brothers and even a timeout. Now I normally do not force them to eat except Z is constantly stealing snacks from the diaper bag when I've given him 'real' food. All I wanted to do was leave to house to get some much needed necessities, like diapers!

And L has been a major source of frustration! He talks nonstop on a regular basis. We cannot get him to stop even when he is repeatedly told to stop talking. So when I ask him something and expect him to answer, it is beyond frustrating when he doesn't say anything!
