Feeling horrible

[Arimeh]

I have lots of those days too. Especially when I've told the kids to wait and they keep on asking me for the same thing, over and over!! Its like "wait" in this house means "no, please keep asking" Drives me insane!!!

I've been snapping at mine too - and I feel bad when I get angry. My rule at the moment is to not smack - no matter what.

My next rule will be to not yell. That one isn't so easy to stop unfortunately LOL

I hear ya!

I feel like parenting is at the moment an absolute conflict between their needs and mine - not just that I have to give up a bit to be a good mum but that our needs are in no way compatible. It is exhausting.

I don't have any suggestions for you other than ABC2 and laying in the couch with a blanket which is what gets me through. But you are not alone!

I hear you too. DS1 had a few massive tantrums today. It's exhausting on a constant basis.

We had a big cry together on the couch today for over an hour. I'm tired.
