Yes

Take a deep breath, count to 10, and then punch them right in the mouth.

Having children has taught me that I do not have the level of patience I thought I had.

My daughter is also 11 and I find myself losing my patience with her more now than I have in the past. She's at a weird age where it's now cool to be disrespectful. And I know that I struggle to find the happy middle on nipping that shite in the bud while also trying to maintain a relationship with her where I can get her to open up and talk to me about stuff.

Daily when I drive, you would think I have Tourette's.

You sound like a psycho.

I’ve got plenty of faults, but I don’t think I’ve ever lost my temper. I’ve got friends that would get mad about what their girlfriend said or a football game and break a fricking TV or punch a hole in the wall and I just found that the most insane thing ever. My mind has never snapped like that.

Even when arse chewing an employee or teammate (not my style but have done on occasion) I was thinking logically the whole time.

I don’t like being around people who fly off the rails at anything.

I was told by a wise lady that once they get to this age, just ignore them till they’re 22.

my son left his baseball glove I got him for Christmas out in the weather last week.

If it was a Wilson A2000 or a Rawlings Pro Preferred or Heart of the Hide I'd be pissed too, those things are over $300 not to mention if you got it from the custom shop.

To answer your question, not often but when I was coaching yes. I was a horrible coach, not so much in the game managing since but in the wanting to win at all costs since, I couldn't control my anger, and it would show in my body language and in what I would say. I was especially bad towards my son. I am super competitive, like irrationally competitive and I let that spill over into coaching. I felt like I was competing and did my son a huge disservice, made it to where he quit baseball after his sophomore year of High School. I finally learned how to control it by the time he got to High School, and the fact I wasn't on the field anymore helped, but the damage was already done. To this day I still feel terrible about how I acted and apologized to him for the way I acted especially towards him.

He's a Senior now and plays golf on the golf team, I go to the matches and watch him, I stay ahead of him and watch where his ball lands and try and stay out of his way and don't talk to him while he's playing and only talk to him about his play if he brings it up. I tell him he hit some good shots or made some good putts, but I don't ask him about what happened on his bad ones unless he brings it up. I finally learned how to control myself but it took a while. I know he's doing the best he can and golf is extremely hard, not that baseball isn't hard. We play golf a lot together which is fun and it's something that we can do together for hopefully the rest of my life as long as I can stay healthy and I'm grateful he forgave me and still likes to hang out.
