When stressful situations are going on...

[itsblissmas]

 Do you let your kids know what is going on? Do they see your reactions to the stress? Or do you keep it all away from them as much as possible?

[mommynac]

Depends on what it is. If it's a mommy juggling type thing then I let them see it. If it's an adult only situation then no (money, disagreement between adults, etc.).

[SabrinaLC]

I'm sure they see it and pick up on things.

I don't think it's good to hide feelings and things.  

[sweetlyblissful]

I usually let them know.

[LuvingRN]

It really depends on the situation.

 I usually let the know what is up unless it is something very personal between the hubby and I.

I choose to expose my weaknesses to my children so that they can see how my husband and I overcome life's challenges and remain positive individuals. I, for one, still experience moments of negativity and it's those times that I grow the most and use those experiences as real life lessons for my children to witness firsthand. By keeping it real, they can see for themselves that it's OK to show anger or sadness, as long as they chose the appropriate time and place (home), and don't become purveyors of those emotions.

 depends on the sitituation. My son right now is too young to understand too much of anything

[i.heart.myboys]

Just depends on what is going on. If it's about his brother he knows about it. But if it's money issues or anything like that he has no idea what is going on.

I try to be somewhat honest. I think trying to hide it makes for more stress and helps no one. I dint tell the kids everything, but I do try top empower them and make them feel like they have some control and can be helpful.

well right now we are making a major move. we currently live in mexico and we will be moving in a week and half to mo. so yes my kids can see the stress. lol right now money is tight and my kids also know that. my oldest knows more because he understands whats going on. we try to lessen the stress and keep to ourselves but i believe kids can always pickup what is going on with parents. atleast my do.
