I got it wrong this morning and I'm filled with guilt and sadness. Dd (7mo) had me up all night crawling around her cot, then was up for the day at five. I lost my cool and shhhed her quite nastily and told her to shut up. It made her cry, real upset tears. I just lost my patience, I was so tired and just needed some sleep.
Now she is asleep on me in the lounge and all I can think about is how wrong I was to be like that with her. All I want is to be as loving and kind towards her as i can and never act like that again. It has made me see that I need to be more patient and that it is unfair for her to have her mummy act like that when she can't help the stage she is going through.
The guilt is there for a reason isn't it? It is to make you change things that aren't right. I feel so awful for losing it this morning, I just needed to write this down. I just feel like I have failed today and I'm trying to make myself see the positives I guess.

to think that when parenting, sometimes you have to get it wrong to get it right.
