Feeling really bad/guilty/mean....

I yelled at my 2 year old.  I want to say I "snapped" at him to make myself feel better, but I totally yelled at him.  And he was just being 2.  Nothing too dramatic.  I just feel awful.  He cried and looked so hurt.  I felt like a giant ass.

I am just so on edge the last few days and I don't know why.  And now I feel even worse because I took it out on him.

He was laughing and playing a few minutes later.  And we cuddled in my bed and played with his cars for a long time.  And I read him extra stories before bed... but I still feel like crap.  Crying

Re: Feeling really bad/guilty/mean....

  • Happens to all of us... give yourself a break.. tomorrow is a new day:)
  • He cuddled and played with you, then he's already over it. ?I have a tendency to snap, too, sometimes. ?

    Don't beat yourself up. ?He still loves you! [[hugs]]?

  • We all have those moments. I know I have been snippy with DD or even DH for that matter.

    Don't beat yourself up.

  • It has happened to me too.  I felt like the world's biggest jerk but I tried to give myself a break and you should too.  I think it is bound to happen, we are all human after all.  It's ok!!

  • It does happen to all of us, and they do forget about it quickly, especially if it's an occasional or rare thing.

    ?You'll feel better in the morning! Don't worry about it too much!?

  • Thanks, ladies.  I needed to hear that. 
    I don't know what is going on with me lately, but I am just an emotional wreck.
