Rough day

aimee413

I just feel the need to get it off my chest. Today was hard on me and I hate when I can't cope. My dd is 11 weeks so we are on the edge of a growth spurt. She was a little more fussy today and for whatever reason I couldnt handle it. It's just me at home, dh is at work and comes home after we are in bed. I feel so guilty because I took some frustration out on my 6yo. I yelled at him when it wasn't even necessary. I just felt so stressed. Both kids are in bed and now I'm feeling so bad. I wish I could redo today. Hope tomorrow is better!!

Hope tomorrow goes better. Rough days can really suck especially when you are there by yourself. Take a break tonight and spend some to yourself if you can.

I can completely relate. My DD is 10 weeks and fussy all.the.time. My husband is home on the weekends thank god but I cry every Sunday night when I know he has to return to work and leave me for 12 hours each day alone with her. All my friends say it gets better but it's not very consoling in the moment. Don't beat yourself up for snapping at your son, we all have our moments... Best of luck to you! Pour yourself a drink like I'm about to do haha

I hope tomorrow is better for you! Everyone has those days, we're human. I've found myself apologizing to my three year old more frequently than I would like throughout this last pregnancy, and the first few weeks home. It's hard to be alone all day with kids and need to do dinner and bedtime alone. Try to fit in a little you time this week!

I hope tomorrow is better for you! 

We all know this isn't easy.  I had my own rough day the other day and took it out on our amazing golden retriever (this may or may not help to relate to your story, but he is like our older child).  I yelled at him for no reason- just because he was right there.  

Any chance you can treat yourself to a massage or something delish this week?
