What do you do to control your temper towards your child? My son has been getting on my last nerve and I really am having a time controlling my temper.

I always make my kids go to their rooms. That way I can calm down.

What do you do when they don't stay in their rooms. My kids won't stay in their rooms when I tell them to. When I need a break I send them there but they think it is funny to run through the house screaming or standing next to me and whining about stuff which just makes me more mad. I can't keep them in their room--they have no door.
