Using a throwaway because I'm really active on my other account and would rather this not be common knowledge. Just looking for some advice/to get this off my chest.Today, I absolutely lost my shit on my 5 year old. It came out of nowhere, and even I'm at a loss as to why it happened. Basically, this girl argues with me about absolutely everything and this morning when I nicely asked if she could wear a different pair of shoes and she started a tantrum, something snapped and I smacked her butt. When her tantrum turned to all-out screaming, I angrily picked her up and kind of threw her onto the couch.Honestly I do have a pretty short fuse and can't say that this is the first time I've lost my temper, but I've been doing so well at not immediately reacting negatively to a situation but today was just so different. I have an appt with a therapist in a couple of weeks to address this and other issues, but what in the world can I do to ensure that this never happens again? Have any of you experienced anything like this? How can I work on my patience? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2gbIHeB
