A HUGE discuss from my blog last week on “Are there REALLY any RUDE questions?” Parents of 
multiples say YES! And sometimes on a bad day, they find themselves getting irritated and lose control on anger when strangers make really TACTLESS comments like:
guy motioning at my wife’s belly with a weird smirk asking if it there was something wrong with her eggs. the guy who said he’d “f’ing kill himself” “what a nightmare” or “your life must be hell” I’m also an older first-time mum (over 40) and on particularly harried days (no make-up, no sleep), I’ve been asked if I’m their grandmother.

I recently realized how negatively I view my To Do List! It’s never done — and every day I have to shift some of the items onto tomorrow’s To Do List! I’ve found it very frustrating, very DEMORALIZING, and anything that frustrating and demoralizing, over time, ends up undoing my control on anger.
