Do you hide your emotions from your kids?

I'm a big crier. I used to wonder if it freaked my children out but now I think they need to have emotion modelled to them.
I want my children to grow up and know it's okay to feel strong emotion and to display it. Vulnerability and imperfection do not equal weakness. The only way for me to teach this is to show it.
My regular Essential Baby column discusses how displaying your emotions can actually enhance your relationship with your children.
Enjoy!
