This am, DD (6) was supposed to be getting ready for school. She generally needs lots of nagging and reminding but is more than capable of doing things herself.
This morning though, while I was helping DS get dressed, she'd somehow managed to smear toothpaste all over her face and the bathroom floor, left the tap running in the sink, and a plastic cup in there, so the water was bouncing off in all directions. The bathroom was in a right old mess.
She'd also taken all her stickers off the inside of her wardrobe door and strewn them around her bedroom, and posters off her wall.
I completely lost my temper with her, shouted and screamed about the mess and even smacked her . We were 10 minutes late for school - have never been late before.
I feel absolutely terrible about the way I dealt with it.
Please tell me that I'm not a complete cow, and that she'll forgive me later. I feel awful that she went to school after such a row.
