Hell, I've traumatized my own kid before simply because it never occured to me that what I was saying could be traumatic. My mom had to step in and take over the conversation at that point, and I'm grateful she was there so I couldn't do any more damage than what was done by the single statement I made. Just wanted to let everyone know that.

I did the dumbest thing today. I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds. I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym. What a dummy!

The good news is that we have editing/deleting options here that aren't available when we are talking to our kids. The dangers of triggering others still exist, but I, for one, need allot of trigger handling practice.
