I feel so guilty

I feel so awful. I haven’t been well and the weekend was difficult.

Yesterday I spent sorting the school bits out for the week and asked the dc to by checking their timetables and packing their bags, getting coats shoes etc by the door.

They all looked to be busy doing what I’d asked but this morning when it was time to leave dd was packing her bag…..couldn’t find something……couldn’t find her hair stuff…. Etc etc

I feel guilty because I snapped at her and she cried. I shouldn’t have but I had asked her and now she has gone off upset and I feel terrible. Dh had made it worse as he was saying ‘ok ok she knows alright?’ At me which I get was minimising the fact that yesterday I had asked the dc to help yet she had ignored me.

I just feel terrible though as she was upset but I need them to listen she’s so disorganised and I should have checked and looked she had done it but I asked and she said she had yest I didn’t think to physically check plus I felt so ill

Don’t feel guilty, unless she is in reception! You snapped at her, DH snapped at you, the dog hid, it’s a normal Monday if you are feeling under par. Now your daughter should be feeling guilty for not doing as asked yesterday.
( Got fed up of 30 years worth of teenagers blaming their mum for missing books, homework, equipment, brains ‘She didn’t pack it’)
