I have a newborn who is always on me (which is totally fine and expected). But at be end of the day when DD puts her feet on me while we are watching TV or something I just want to lose my mind and scream. I get so ragey inside. I haven't exploded over it yet, but I'm sure my day will come. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575301 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 18:51:05 +0000 SweetiePie 2575301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: yes! Haha. My guy will cry while I toast his toast or microwave his peas. Not because he's starving. Just because once he sees it he wants it now and waiting the 30 seconds for it to heat up is torture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575294 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 18:20:13 +0000 nana87 2575294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whining for something while I'm in the middle of doing it for her. Like, at bedtime when she takes her socks off and then wants them back on and cries for them WHILE I'm putting them on her. Like, just chill 2 more seconds toddler!! Gaaaah lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575278 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 16:49:03 +0000 kodybear 2575278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whining and crying (when there isn't a good reason to). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575271 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 16:22:37 +0000 looch 2575271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Asking the same thing over and over after I have already said no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575239 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 14:01:15 +0000 catlady 2575239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Defiance. Whining annoys me but she never does it enough to fully anger me (yet). The defiance angers me but also scares me because usually when I say no to her, it's for a safety reason, so the fact that she has been starting to ignore me is a real problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575229 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 13:23:31 +0000 Mae 2575229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noodling. Drives me fucking batty. This generally happens when she wants something and I say no and she starts throwing a tantrum. If she's in a safe place and we have time I just let her go. But sometimes I need to remove her from an unsafe place (the crux of the tantrum) or sometimes I said no because we are on our way to doing something and we really need to get moving. In those cases I need to pick her up and I don't care if she screams at me but the limp noodle trying to slide out of my arms things drives me nutssssss. She's too damn heavy for her to be making it that much harder for me to transport her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575224 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 13:14:16 +0000 Purpledaisy 2575224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whining. So much whining. So much unnecessary whining. 😭 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575211 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 12:45:48 +0000 SweetiePie 2575211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know it's totally expected for his age, but the crying for no reason. Like he has all of his favorite things in the world and he's still upset about something stupid. Or I don't know why he's upset at all. It's so frustrating. I think "I've done everything I can to make you happy, how can you still be unhappy?!" I feel helpless. Like I said, it's normal, but frustrating nonetheless. </p> <p>But it's also what makes me bite my lip not to laugh on occasion. The reasons he's crying are so ridiculous I have to try not to laugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575209 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 12:41:03 +0000 autumnlove 2575209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not listening, super whininess and defiance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575206 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 12:35:18 +0000 birdofafeather 2575206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>kicking, hitting, slamming doors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575205 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 12:32:34 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2575205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whining/"unnecessary" crying. Seriously, DD will be three in September and she is acting the part. I'm regularly trying to keep from screaming at her. I'm so tired of the whining and boundary pushing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575203 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 12:31:16 +0000 brownepiano 2575203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not having enough sleep. Waking up feeling more tired than when i went to bed. Then the toddler loudness and energy drives me nuts. Oh and my newborn refusing to sleep anywhere but in my arms. All this tends to coincide in the morning which is not good. </p> <p>In general though the two things that make me most mad are toddler indecision and the unpredictability of the newborn. I know they shouldn't but it starts to get to me after a while.... especially on 5 hours of interrupted sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575197 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 12:18:08 +0000 Autumnmama79 2575197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spitting. For DD of course, nothing angers me about newborn DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575184 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 11:34:27 +0000 gingerbebe 2575184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Messing with my sleep. I currently have a 21 month old and a 6 week old, so I'm a walking ball of rage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575111 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 07:40:53 +0000 Bao 2575111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, several things. Not listening, picking on each other and not staying in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575076 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 03:47:09 +0000 Cherrybee 2575076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having a really hard time with E disobeying me or doing naughty things deliberately for a reaction; she gets this look in her eye that says "I think I'm really clever" and it makes me RAGE.</p> <p>Oh and begging (and by that I mean "please, please pleeeeeaaase"). And spitting. And silliness. I hate silliness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-triggers-your-anger-as-a-parent#post-2575075 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 03:30:52 +0000 mrbee 2575075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't get enough sleep so when my kids are staying up late and refusing to sleep, it drives me insane. Especially if I fall asleep putting them down and then their naughtiness wakes me up - I get really upset. It's the main trigger that causes me to raise my voice these days, which of course only makes matters worse.</p> <p>This exact scenario happened last night and it took hours to get them down! I realized this morning that my son has been a little under the weather, which explains why he's having trouble sleeping (and the sleep deficit explains a large chunk of his behavior). I have to recover my parenting zen, and not get so emotional when I get woken up by non-listening children. I swear, bedtime can sometimes be so much harder because the kids share a room these days! </p>
