Just back this afternoon from the loveliest holiday will dh and dd.
Long story short, Ive let tiredness get the better of me when putting dd to bed tonight and I feel terrible. All she wanted to do was talk about the holiday ‘ mummy can we talk about Italy’
She kept asking and Im ashamed to say I got quite grumpy and everytime she said ‘mummy’ I told her no and to go to sleep in a frustrated tone. The more I said no, the more she asked. I had zero patience.
I realised at the time I wasnt being very nice and text my husband to take over which he did.
I should have let dh do bedtime in the first place. Poor dd was just excited to be back home from her holiday, she didnt deserve my grumpiness. She was probably confused why I was being horrible.
We’ve been up since 4 am travelling back and to top it off I got of the plane to a text to say very unexpectedly I was out of work with immediate effect (im a freelancer)
I just wish I hadnt taken those frustrations out on her 😔
