I'm feeling shaken & ashamed. He was a little subdued on the way to school, poor boy. I'm glad we had a hug and held hands on the way.
He's 8 and dd is 6. They keep pushing and pushing me and this was just the thing I was scared of. I lost control, instead of reasoning (or shouting), I ended up smacking him lots. I struggled to stop myself from carrying on.
I know dh & I are really tired at the moment, but I really need to get on top of this before it gets worse. Any words of wisdom for how to move on?
