Feel like the worst Mum

Today my 4 month old screamed in the car for 20 mins on the way home.
I had forgot to take a jug to warm up his milk as he will not take it cold, I screamed at him and my teenage daughter, turned into an absolute nutter singing at top of my voice, turning music up and regretfully leaving my daughter who's 15 in tears.
It was my fault I forgot jug, my fault he was screaming, I feel so awful for how I made my daughter feel and also that I shouted in front of baby, I have said sorry obviously to both, but it doesn't seem enough and I cannot move on and let it go.
I feel they both deserve better and cannot forgive myself for losing control, how do I move on from this?

Uhmm, it just sounds like a bad day, that's all. Everyone has bad days.

When I have one, I have an early night, take cocoa to bed with me, and cook everyone their favourite supper tomorrow.

Don't be so hard on yourself. They'll have forgotten all about it by tomorrow.

It sounds like you were overwhelmed ot lost control. This issue is was it a one off? Had something else exceptional happened to tip you over the edge? Or are you generally struggling right now.

One off - talk to your daughter. Baby wont remember. Move on.

Not a one off - please talk to your HV or GP

Urgh kids are so stressful. I may have on occasion turned the radio up and sung like a loon when the 4, 3 and 2 yr old were all fighting and screaming mummy in the back of the car.

Talk to your daughter. She probably got a fright to see 'Mum who is unbreakable' crack a bit. She's old enough to start learning that parents are human and struggle too.
