Feeling teary

DS has his first reception school visit today but it was very short. Shorter than he imagined it might be, in spite of me warning him about it. He's been very excited about starting.

When I said it was time to leave he started freaking out and screaming and telling me that I'd tricked him.

This was all in front of the entire class of parents.

I know it's pathetic, but I feel really teary about the whole episode. I try to be patient and kind to both dc. But for some reason I got really impatient with him, and didn't do my best parenting. Told him he had to stop crying and was just very Unempathetic.

I feel so bad now. He's probably got so. Any mixed emotions going on, and I just cut him short.

I realise there's bigger problems in the world but for some reason this had made me feel really shit.
