I was feeling like Charlie was responding to all our positive parenting/timeouts... and then he started being a total monster last week! I felt like a fraud.

Then it turned out that he was sick... and I felt better about my parenting skills. Although my confidence is still pretty shaken. Gonna have to rethink how to handle a sick tantrumy toddler... cuz my patience is literally almost all gone at this point!

Anyway, backing up to before we realized that Charlie was running a temperature. When your LO acts up, do you feel like your parenting credibility is shot?
