Anger :-(

The last 4 months have been stressful with a new baby, a 2 year old and a 4.5 year old to deal with, I've been sleep deprived (obviously!) and overwhelmed with feeding issues and issues with the elder 2 room sharing and sleep. I become irrationally angry at the children and have shouted at them to try and make them stop what they are doing, or will pick them up to move them away from the situation more roughly than I usually would. I feel absolutely terrible, I feel like I'm failing them as I definitely am not being the parent I'd like to be and it's not their fault I chose to have 3 children close together :-(

Ahh I love the cup analogy! I actually did manage to reign in the anger the other day by just being more aware of it, it hasn't made the anger go away but I'm able to breathe a little more.. I have still shouted but stopped myself when I've realised!
