When they're really young, there shouldn't be any anger towards them at all. They don't know whT they're doing and can't really communicate. As they get older, they can communicate and understand better. Mistakes still do happen. The only thing that should really make one angry is when they start to be defiant or should know better after repeatedly setting the expectation of behavior. The big thing is aligning your own expectations with what small children can or can't do. It's hard to get mad if you have already prepared in your mind format the reality is likely to be like (a miserable mess). Although I wonder if expecting this misery and culturing apathy towards large parts of life to avoid anger had negatively affected my job. After all, dealing with the bureaucracy is a lot like dealing with an irrational toddler. My performance has greatly suffered since becoming a parent, so much that I'm concerned about my future ability to support the family.
