I have 2 dd ages 6 and 2. Am currently 40 weeks pregnant. Throughout pregnancy have found my temper and patience running short with both. Especially by end of the day. DH works away mon - fri. Tonight my dd2 was particularly clingy and I couldn't put her down to do anything. I ended up outing her in her high chair and she screamed blue murder for a while as I sorted dinner. Suddenly I saw red and started screaming at her to "shut the f£&@ up " and did this several times. I totally lost it.
My other dd heard and stayed quiet in the living room.
I have done this before. It's emotional abuse. I don't know what to do but feel like my children would be best off without me.
On the outside and 90% of the time I appear to be and probably am the almost perfect mother. I can't sustain it.
Any experiences of this? How did you stop? Why am I like this?
