Help me stop snapping at DS

[Coffeeandtvforme]

We have a 4 year old and 5 month old. Baby is going through a terrible sleep regression and is only fed to sleep so I'm exhausting!

I keep snapping at my DS for small things then feel terrible. DS has been quite challenging too but feel I'm overreacting sometimes. I made him leave the room and shouted at him for sticking his tongue out at me. DH wants to be supportive and so backs me up but feel he property needs to calm me down. I try to do nice one on one things with him but when he starts acting up I just get angry and annoyed that the one on one time is ruined

I have a 3 year old and a 5 month old and I was absolutely horrible to be around today :( I remember it was the same with the first, sleep deprivation just makes me into a grouchy monster.

the only advice I can give might not help you - I am very sensitive to sound and get completely overwhelmed when baby is shrieking and toddler is talking so I got Loop earplugs which dull the noise but still allow you to hear conversation and that helps keep me calm

good luck!

I have a three year old and a seven month old so I really hear you. My baby is also going through sleep regression. Being exhausted makes everything harder and I get frustrated so easily. Is your four year old in nursery? Try to forgive yourself for snapping at him, being a mum is so bloody hard. Do you get time away? When I started snapping at my son my husband suggested that I go for a walk on my own when he gets home from work to take space away from the family home and gather my thoughts. Have you been feeling negative feelings apart from this?
