I feel like a worse parent during the stages that I found the most difficult (infancy and age 3).

Physical touch is not my love language whatsoever and I really struggled with how much touching was necessary during the infant stage, and felt like a cruddy parent sometimes because I didn't want to always be touching (which is pretty much nursing in a nutshell at the beginning, constant touching! Plus a baby wants/needs to be held a lot)

During age 3 I seem to lose my temper and just feel catty in general when my LO is having a bad attitude. I feel guilty for not being more mature and just keeping my head on straight when LO is in a bad mood. I feel like I'm not a great parent at this stage.

Ages 1 and 2 were easier and I felt like I had the parenting thing down and was doing a pretty good job of it. 3 has totally thrown me for a loop
