'I am loosing the f*cking will to live, please just go to freakin sleep' seemed to be some kind of mantra when DS was a wee baby. Today he refused lunch for the umpteen time this month so i said 'ok fine dont eat you friggin lunch that i've spent an hour cooking, see if i care' whilst sat with my arms crossed and sulking the little git laughed at me. I am a terrible mother!

I love this thread

It makes me feel human and sane.

it making me feel like a monster

am at what others consider

During a 3am feed and nappy change when DS1 was 5 weeks old.
"and now you've soaked my only remaining pair of clean pyjamas, you piddling little twat".

With a repetative toddler & I mean repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats and For Fuck Sake Shut Up!!!!!!

seriously?

this is the worst you lot have ever said?

Is "piddling little twat" not good enough for ya, Filly?

Oh this thread makes me feel so much better that we are all stress heads. Said to 3 week old at 4am with his head bobbing around madly trying to find boob "its here you bloody stupid baby fgs"

pretty tame, sorry

i have no idea what I shouted

I had a baby who could cry for 6 hours straight seemingly without taking a breath, oh and a 22mo ds...

I actually can't remember what I shouted and what I thought...

I'm sure my neighbours could tell you though.

I don't think its particularly awful what I said to babe but its just the ridiculousness (is that a word) of saying it to an uncomprehending newborn thats funny!

To 4 week old dd at 3am after what seemed like constant feeding for ever
'ENOUGH, they're my tits you're NOT having them any more'
DP absolutely pissed himself in hysterics, which of course just made me madder

PMSL at "piddling little twat"

I think I've just done the standard "What NOW you horrid creature?" and while getting chewed to pieces "no no no you're doing it all wrong and you're hurting me, stop it stop it stop it or they'll fall off and you'll have to go hungry cos there's nothing else you know."

I'm with Enid.

I have never shouted at them as babies.

However, I'm sure I've shouted at them far more than Enid has when they were older.

But I don't use swear words, stopped using them altogether when I was teaching and accidentally used the f-word in class...

I think shouting at newborns is better than shouting at older children. They are not likely to understand/remember.

I'm afraid I'm with fillyjonk here. I can't remember most of the the things I shouted at ds when he was a baby but 'shut the f*k up' and 'go to f**ing sleep' now are the milder ones. Ds did cry an awful lot though.

I shout at ds much less now he is 2.5yrs old as I know he will get upset. As a baby it made no difference whatsoever to him but it did let a bit of tension out for me, even if I did feel bad about doing it.

I now have Enid down as my role model for parenting 'I lifted dd1 quite roughly once'- Oh for that sort of patience - (I'm really not being sarcastic I'm truly envious)

I'm hoping motherhood will help to move me in that direction - I am getting better, hence I'm less likely to shout at my toddler than my baby. With a bit of luck I will have reached a zen-like place of total calm by the time ds is teenager (some chance !)

I do think this really is down to personality - dh has never and I mean NEVER raised his voice to ds . Dh just doesn't lose his rag. Me on the other hand ....

I have said to tiny little ds, 'Do you want me to hit you?'
In my defence I would never, ever have done it. But after that night I understood so much more about mums who hurt their children.

After a week of continuous fighting (with each other) I threatened to put mine on ebay if they didn't stop...

Me - just "shut up, pleeeeaaaaaaaaase" and "What?? What??????"

But I remember when my little brother was a baby and woke us all up for the fourth time one night, my brother (about 15 at the time) shouted "For fuck's sake someone shut the fat twat up!" .

greensleeves - pmsl!
after having a rough few days with my kids who are feeling a litte under the weather - they are whingeing and screaming constantly i was embarrassed to say, that on several occasions this week i have said WILL YOU JUST SHUT THE FUCKUP NOW!
i am now in absolute hysterics over these posts
i feel normal now that i know everyone else shouts it too
thank you all so much for making me laugh on an otherwise really shitty day
xxxxxxx

"If you don't stop crying I'm going to give you away to an orphanage!"

My sister once raised her voice to her 3 month old, 'oh grow up you immature baby'

My Nanna used the mantra "if you don't stop crying you'll go in a home with your hair cut short and a black pinny on"

Ask my grown up 3 what my favourite saying was when they were growing up, yup you've guessed it

My 4 year old when we began fostering " does that mean we are where the naughty children get sent mummy? Whoops

I told dd1 when she was about 6 weeks old, that is she didn't shut the f* up I was going to drop her out the window cue dh grabbing her and running off downstairs with her for the remainder of the night until her next feed, and for the 1st time in 6 weeks I actually got 4 hrs sleep in a row!

A friend of mine says that her baby started sleeping through night after she shouted "if you don't go to sleep I'm really sorry, but I'm going to have to kill you" Apparently she slept through from that night onwards

Called my DS a 'little dickhead' once...he was about 6 weeks old and colicky. Felt bad as soon as I said it.

I don't recall ever shouting at him though.
