I think that everyone loses it from time to time. Tomorrow is a new day, start fresh! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320398 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 22:04:45 +0000 youboots 2320398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaChin: @littlejoy bat signals, ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320230 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 19:28:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 2320230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaChin: ice cream is a good substitute... Which explains why I have already gained as much weight at 30 weeks as I did total with my first pregnancy... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320223 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 19:20:48 +0000 MamaChin 2320223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I've definitely muttered some creative f-bomb laden phrases. He catches some cuz he's repeated them back, usually in the correct context too. Can't imagine dealing with this bs while pregnant. I hear ice cream is a good replacement during pregnancy, I'm about to sympathy test that theory. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320153 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 18:25:32 +0000 regberadaisy 2320153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely have those days. These last few weeks hav been very trying. 🍻 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320152 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 18:22:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 2320152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaChin: I used the F word to my 2 year old yesterday. Twice. Before lunch. :sad: </p> <p>She hasn't been listening well lately and is incredibly clingy. And whiny. I do apologize when I really lose my temper but man... I am 7 months pregnant and hormonal and just have zero patience.</p> <p>Eta: oh and im pregnant so I can't even freaking drink!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320123 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 17:53:10 +0000 MamaChin 2320123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: haha like a bat signal for moms </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320120 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 17:49:55 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2320120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaChin: I don't believe anyone if they say they've never lost it.. esp if they are sahp or solo parent a decent amount. It happens. Hang in there til bedtime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320097 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 17:22:21 +0000 gentlelunette 2320097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally get that. Even though my babe is still small, she's been going through something the last few days/nights and I am just DONE. I felt bad today when I put her in the stroller and faced her outward because I just didn't want to look at her/talk to her/entertain her for another minute! Lol. Ridiculous, I know. I think the fact that you acknowledge that it was a bad day means these don't come along very often, and for that you should be proud! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320094 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 17:20:32 +0000 littlejoy 2320094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaChin: I live on a block with 4 other moms, and a bar on the corner. We joke that we need to install some "help me" light system that tells them we need to meet after bedtime for a drink! ;) </p> <p>Just remember, bedtime is probably only a few hours away? Then, FREEDOM!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320082 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 17:08:40 +0000 MamaChin 2320082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: haha I was just thinking I wish I drank! Maybe I'll freakin start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320078 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 17:05:38 +0000 littlejoy 2320078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking of you. We all have these days. The thing is ... our kids are going to see us freak out -- they SHOULD see us freak out from time to time, but what's important is that you apologized. Be gentle with yourself.</p> <p>Do you drink? Maybe an extra glass of wine tonight? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320074 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 17:02:03 +0000 NovBaby1112 2320074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs. I totally just lost my shit on DD bc she wouldn't listen to me and then threw a huge fit, while I was trying to feed her brother. I felt and still do feel awful. I'm sure having a new sibling has totally rocked her world but man, she has just been awful lately.... :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320054 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 16:37:07 +0000 Jess1483 2320054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaChin: Yeah. DS has started saying "don't be mean" when he means "don't tell me I can't do what I want." It made me sad for like, a hot minute, and then I told him to buck up ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320052 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 16:36:05 +0000 MamaChin 2320052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: OMG DS says the same thing. "I just want mommy to be happy" aka I want mommy to be nice. 😭 Even worse is the "I just want to make mommy happy!" while crying. Slays me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320031 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 16:27:06 +0000 yellowbird 2320031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaChin: hugs. I've been there myself. I screamed at dd last Friday in the car because she would not.stop.whining! I totally lost it, but we made up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320026 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 16:25:44 +0000 Jess1483 2320026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son told my husband a couple nights ago he didn't want me to come kiss him goodnight because I was "sad." (A better description was probably "mommy was having a hissy fit.") We hugged and all was fine, but I felt awful and just sobbed when I left his room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2320000 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 16:14:26 +0000 cheert16 2320000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whining is the worst- and thats always when i lose it! Give yourself a break, one not-so-great day is ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2319999 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 16:12:18 +0000 BeachMama 2319999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whining is SO hard for me to deal with and I definitely lose my shit more often than I should. Hang in there, give yourself a mini break if you can. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2319968 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 15:54:31 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2319968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>&lt;3 &lt;3 </p> <p>The fact that you feel lousy after just one time means you're doing a great job. Whining is so hard to deal with - hang in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-bad-parenting-day#post-2319886 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 15:04:52 +0000 MamaChin 2319886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lost my shit and screamed today. Not directly AT my son but definitely in reaction to his ceaseless whining and crying about every. fuckin. thing. I've since apologized but I still feel lousy. Plus the crying and whining hasn't stopped so I'm still on edge. Hubs won't be home until after they sleep. Ugh. </p>
