Is not my virtue.
My toddler knows how to push my buttons. It's next to impossible to put a infant down when your toddler is being loud and won't listen to you!
I know she's just being a toddler, but gosh my patience is so thin lately. Especially since my infant would not sleep last night till 1am!! And only by me holding her all night!
A LA Daniel Tiger - grr!

I'm not dealing with a newborn and my toddler still tests my patience a thousand times a day. Especially at bedtime. I can't tell you how many warnings were given at bed time this evening.

Some days I super eyeroll my toddler because she wears me thin when she naps for 20 minutes and is then a crankypants. You aren't alone.

I am right there with you there momma. We are traveling right now so nothing is normal. My toddler is being a little demon (like I am sure he is possessed!) Plus my infant has been nursing like crazy and forget everyone else. This mommy needs a drink and lot of chocolate.

I'm right there with you but I only have the one. I think I slept 3 hours last night because we drove to LA, got in at 1 am and she didn't go to sleep until 4 am. My patience was gone last night.

Nothing killed my patience faster than having a second child. I used to be pretty patient and it really took a lot for me to get worked up, but now as a mummy of two, I have absolutely no patience. It sucks 
I'm trying so hard to work on it, but 8.5 months in and I'm still really struggling with not blowing my cool over minor things.

I'm so relieved to hear this from others...I fee like such an awful parent sometimes because I get so frustrated with DS about his behaviors, especially now with a newborn and lack of sleep. He can push my buttons like no one else!

I'm struggling with this lately. I'm sleeping awful and have very little patience when B acts up. I actually stated up last night thinking about what I should do differently. Mommy guilt in full force.

I have no idea what patience is anymore. I blew up over the stupidest thing this morning when my oldest was bringing ALL of his divided plate, sippy, yogurt cup, a fork, a spoon, and a bib to the sink. I was terrible. He was bringing all of his empty everything to the sink and I blew up at him. What is wrong with me. He flipped his bib upside down so ALL of the crumb from his apple bread fell to the floor. I got so upset at him b/c of the crumbs. So stupid. Seriously have no idea why I blew up. Doesn't help that I'm on week two without my husband's help during week nights and weekends...
