Grumpy me

[Emma54]

I know this seems really trivial but I have been so grumpy with my kids the last couple of days (PMS to blame). Just not having any patience and snapping at them for minor things. I feel really guilty and my eldest (6yr old boy) seems to be acting up.For example, we have a constant battle to get him to do his homework and whereas i would normally be patient, I lost it with him and told him he wasn't do his best. I don't have that much self confidence in myself as a parent and now I am racked with guilty.... just for being bad tempered.
Anyone had the same feelings?

Hell yes. I blame the school holidays, being tired and having PMT.

Don't be racked with guilt. I've yet to meet any parent who's not been a bit mean to the DCs at some point and the odd occasion won't do them any harm. My mother could be a real cow at times, but still love her the narky old cow.

Can I suggest cake? I hate to be flippant, but goodness me does it help!

This happens to me every month. I really should do something about it! PMT is bloomin awful...

Cake and a glass of wine!
