I feel out of control.

It's been one of those days and it's only 12:30.  Jack hasn't been acting that wild or much different from normal, but I am just not handling it well.  At all.  I seriously felt totally out of control earlier and screamed at him like a lunatic.  More than once. 

I feel awful.  I'm sure my behavior only makes him sad and confused and I'm just as confused at myself right now.  I need to get my_shit together before he wakes up from his nap or it's going to be a long afternoon.

  • ooooh- you are NOT alone...I don't know what it is, but lately I feel like my oping skills are being put to the test...

    hang in there, this too will pass. enjoy the rest of his nap!!
  • Did you read my earlier post? I am so there with you! F is just impossible some days. By naptime these days I'm ready to run screaming out of the house. I have often lost my temper with her, and then later I end up saying "Mommy is sorry for yelling, I just felt frustrated and upset". She always says "that's ok, Mommy, I yell too sometimes". Then, it's ok, and we're having fun again. Even the best of Mommies lose their cool. The important thing is that you make your child understand that you made a mistake, and that you try to do better next time.
