I gave birth 4 weeks ago, just recovering from mastitis so not in the best frame of mind right now.
I stupidly left dd's advent calender where she could reach it this morning and she opened some the doors and ripped bits of it when I was doing lunch.
It was a nice pop up one and instead of understanding that she is three, and ultimatly my fault, I made her sit in time out for three minutes and then threw the calender in the bin which meant folding it in half. I told her she was bad and that she wouldn't have a door to open when she got up in the morning.
I know this was awful and am now guilt ridden. But what do I do? Buy her a new calender even though I told her wouldn't have one now? Let her go the rest of December without one (seems really cruel)
Need advice to try and make up for my bad parenting
