0:00.0	What are your triggers that cause you to react?
0:05.0	We talked all last month about kids with big emotions,
0:09.0	but what about parents with big emotions?
0:11.0	So I asked our friends on Facebook what does set you off and the
0:15.2	responses were overwhelming. There are a lot of triggers out there. Well I
0:18.6	want you to be free from these triggers so that is what we are going to discuss on today's episode of the
0:25.5	Calm Parenting Podcast. Welcome. This is Kirkmart and founder of Celebrate Calm. You can find us at
0:30.0	Celebrate Calm. If you need help, reach out to Casey. C-A-S-E-Y, Celebrate Calm.com, because we're going to talk about messes today.
0:38.4	He was one of the messiest kids you'll ever meet, but he's not anymore, which is interesting. So reach out to him, tell him what you're struggling with. We'll reply back to you. If you need help with anything, booking a live event, help with our sale. We have a huge holiday sale. Christmas holidays are coming up right now.
0:55.2	We want, look my goal is I want you to be free from these things once and for all and to actually

1:18.9	So here are a couple responses from parents. My trigger is the mess as my kids leave. I don't
1:26.1	need my house to stay overly spotless, but I need a decently tidy home. Like I need it for my sanity. I can go from a zero to a hundred pretty fast
1:36.3	when I walk through and see a trail of mess. There's school books on the table,
1:39.9	lunch plates, crumbs, snack wrappers, dirty clothes on the floors, one shoe in the hall,
1:44.9	one in the entryway, blankets all over, and don't even get me started with the bathrooms.
1:50.7	Look, mom, if I came to your house, I'd intentionally want to leave a mess just to set you off because I really am a jerk like that.
1:58.0	But then I would pay someone to come and do a deep cleaning or organizing for you because I'm also a nice
2:04.7	guy sometimes. I'm kind of kidding with that but I can hear how much that irritates you.
2:09.7	Here's another honest reply from a good mom.
