regretful parenting

[superbagpuss]

I just shouted at my child in anger

feel really bad about it now

apparently I'm a stinky mummy

How old is your child? Being called a 'stinky mummy' isn't the worse that you will hear over the years, wait until your teenager starts shouting back at you .

Don't worry, parents are human, children are human, we all 'lose' it occasionally (well, most parents do) - I think it is good for children to see that their parents have emotions & are not just doormats.

he's 4

just apologised to him for shouting and we have kissed and made up

it happens, sounds like you've dealt with it well.
