I'm having one of those days where I think I'm...

[emkana]

... the worst mother in the world.

When I try to consider it like an outsider would, I don't think it's that bad, but I just hate myself again today for the fact that I'm so impatient and then raise my voice far too often.
Dd1 was telling me tonight that I should try and be loud only when "we do something really bad, like lying."

I could write that post probably 3 days out of 7 Emkana....

Thanks

im finding it real hard to keep my patience with dd (nearly 3) shes at a stage where she wants to do everything her way, shes always too excited and i feel so exhausted at the end of the day.

but i feel so bad when i keep telling her off! i remind myself that shes at a stage where shes learning to be her own person and wants to be more independant but it gets so tiring when she doesnt listen to me when i want her to.

prettymum, I used to be even worse when my dd2 was your dd's age
now she's four things are definitely easier.

today i had some friends over so dd was even more excited and she didn't stop for the whole day. she wont listen when i tell her to and just felt like i was handling everything wrong! i don't know where she gets all the energy from.

my 14 month old son is like that too and together they're so boisterous and i feel so frained out by the time theyre in bed!
