This is the phrase that DS (2.7) comes out with whenever I have to tell him off/slightly raise my voice/enforce a rule. Usually accompanied by floods of tears.
I have no idea how to respond to it!
I have tried to explain that no one is happy all the time and sometimes Mammies get cross. I tell him that I will be happy once he has done what I ask/apologised for his behaviour etc. Which he does! But will then go on to repeat the exact same thing 5 mins later with the same result...
Is there anything else I can do??
I have struggled with PND in the past but generally feel much better now. However his response to me getting cross makes me feel really guilty and upset, like I have traumatised him :(
Any advice much appreciated...
