Angry Ways

There are days that I feel like things could not get anymore chaotic within the walls of our house. Fighting, yelling, bugging, etc...On days like that, it seems like life is just crazy, but then I think, "Wow, we are not even close to puberty!" Add a little extra estrogen into our lives, and the little bickering that we have now is going to be nothing, I am sure of that! I often wonder when things will be at an absolute estrogen-induced drama high, and I envision that 15, 13, and 11 might be pretty rough! Luckily, I have 7-8 years to prepare myself and Cory to survive those years.
The reason for this post is because each girl has their own way of dealing with anger right now, and I am pretty sure that they will stay relatively the same. I wanted to document it now to see if it matches up in the future :)
Adilyn gets really mad, and she shows it. She stomps around the house. She grunts and folds her arms. She refuses to do anything except just be mad.
Kacy gets upset, and she usually cries. 9 times out of 10, any time she gets yelled at or gets in trouble, she immediately cries. Not because she is trying to get out of trouble, she just truly freaks out and cries. After shedding a few tears, she usually goes up to her room and covers her head with her blanket and sometimes just goes to sleep.
Brooke gets mad, and she cries too. Instead of running up to her room, she grabs whatever blanket or pillow she can find and she screams or cries into it until all is right with the world again.
It cracks me up how different they all are, and how they show their anger, sadness, and disappointment in opposite ways. I have always been one to let them deal with their feelings in ways that make them feel better as long as it doesn't hurt themselves or anyone else, and so far they have chosen decent ways - let's hope that continues. :)
