I have had a tough time over the past year and so have my children in one way or another. They are hard work at the moment and I'm getting stressed with them.
I made a decision not to smack them but I've now found myself acting like a spiteful kid. We were out tonight and they were playing up and I found myself stepping on toes and giving my dd's hair a little tug. I wasn't being really rough with them but I'm horrified at my pathetic behaviour.
I've got to nip this in the bud now and would appreciate your advice.
