"Just tell me what you want then!" to a baby aged about 4 weeks . Would have been a little shocked if she had!

In a supermarket with DS and DD (very new) DS was kicking off. So I told him if he carried on like that I would put him outside while I finished my shopping.

Cue lip wobble ... "But mummy, someone might take me! Why would you want that? I am your special boy!"

Cue big guilt and lots of tears (on both sides) ...

I have gone into the back garden and shouted and whilst these lapses are unfortunate, better that than storing it up and then totally losing it, and ending up as front page news.

I have never shouted at a baby. Cried in a desperate fashion in the middle of the night.

But I have certainly shouted at the children. Sometimes as Sherlock says out in the back garden, but sometimes right at them. Not something I'm proud of.

Enid, how do you do it? Seriously.

When ds was a couple of weeks old I shouted
"I've changed your nappy , I've fed you , you're warm, i've cuddled you now please go to f*cking sleep!" At this point dp woke up and said something innane so I got dressed and said "Fine i've had it i'm going". I left the house, it was 3am I walked to the end of our road and came back having nowhere to go. Came back to dp looking bewildered a woken up 2 year old who was crying and a newborn baby screaming!

at Monkey Island. DS2 came into the office worried that I had flipped as I was PMSL so much!

LittleRach - we have an old tape of me and my then 3 YO DB playing and my mum can be heard in the background telling DB that she would "slit his throat" if he got any of that Flake he was eating on the floor!

"Only the crumbliest flakiest chocolate"! Poor DB still can't look a Flake in the eye today and he's 35 now. Mentally scarred for life.........

Had a particularly bad day when ds was about 4 weeks old, he just didn't want to sleep, kept crying and had reflux so when he wasn't crying he was throwing up. Dp had gone out for the day and I was wheeling ds up and down in his pram. In the end I left him at one end of the hallway while i was at the other screaming ' for the love of fucking god what is bloody wrong with you'. Hated myself for it but actually it made me feel a bit better - bit of release!! I have raised my voice with him now at 2.5 and today in fact said quite loudly, what on earth could be wrong with you now child!!! He then told me off for shouting and I couldn't help but chuckle!!!!

Said Loudly: 'You are driving Mummy MAD! If you don't stop it, Mummy will really go mad and then you'll have the whole house to yourself to scream to and I won't hear you - Please God!"


(I have said / screamed / shouted far worse things but only in the car and on my own - making sure windows are firmly shut and phone off - just in case I sit on it and dial some unsuspecting individual who would rightly think I was horrible).

"if you don't shut up i'll kill myself and then you'll be sorry"

"I'm going to put you outside with a baby for sale sign"

"i'm going to sell you to the glue factory"

DD fell out of bed in the middle of the night and after a big fat cafuffle and loads of tears I just screamed 'FOR GODS SAKES GO BACK TO BED AND GO TO SLEEP OR I WILL SMACK YOUR BOTTOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

Next day still whingey and could not lift her arm. A trip to A&E uncovered her collarbone completely in two.

She still remembers and so do I. I have beaten myself up about it, cried about it and generally felt bad.

But the funny thing is, the nurses at A&E who I thought would be calling the social, all thought it was bloody hilarious

ok, I feel a little better after reading some of these posts. At the time it's awful, but in retrospect it makes for great reading. PMSL. The Kum By yah has to win hands down. Awesome.
