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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Whining is the worst- and thats always when i lose it! Give yourself a break, one not-so-great day is ok!
-
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.
-
@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.
-
@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.
-
@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
-
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....
-
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.
Do you drink? Maybe an extra glass of wine tonight?
-
@littlejoy: haha I was just thinking I wish I drank! Maybe I'll freakin start.
-
@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!
Just remember, bedtime is probably only a few hours away? Then, FREEDOM!!!!
-
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!
-
@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!
-
@littlejoy: haha like a bat signal for moms
-
@MamaChin: I used the F word to my 2 year old yesterday. Twice. Before lunch.
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.
Eta: oh and im pregnant so I can't even freaking drink!!
-
I definitely have those days. These last few weeks hav been very trying.
-
@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.
-
@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...
-
@MamaChin: @littlejoy bat signals, ha!
-
@MamaChin: aw, I'm sorry you had a rough day. I think that everyone loses it from time to time. Tomorrow is a new day, start fresh!
