Getting my 2 Y/0 out of the door is usually quite a smooth process. This week, he has taken so much longer, crying about everything, wanting daddy instead, not wanting to get ready but not really telling me what the problem is.
This morning I told myself to be patient and even got up a bit earlier. He was inconsolable. I got so frustrated that I grabbed him and shouted in his face. I feel completely ashamed and all I want to do now is go pick him up from nursery, apologise and give him a massive cuddle.
I'm really struggling with the guilt today but feel unsure that I can guarantee it won't happen again.
Do you ever feel unable to stop your anger escaping? It's such a sudden feeling for me with no obvious build up.
