My DS has started slapping me in the face and kicking at me when I try to dress him or put him in his sleeping bag... I smacked him tonight but was immediately sorry as it was more about me taking out my frustrations than teaching him anything (I know you can't teach 'don't hit' by hitting ) What should I do when he does this??

He's also taken to pushing me away and asking for Daddy...

Am I damaging our relationship by working full-time?

I'm hoping it's just a phase and it'll pass - but it hurts
