My meltdown after my toddlers bad day


I’m a stay at home and my son is two. My day started at 5 am when my son woke me up by jumping on my bed and rubbing his nose against mine. It was adorable. My husband left for work and it was just me and the kiddo for the rest of the day. He was not having a good day, just being a typical toddler but being so bad! Scratching, hair pulling, tantrum throwing. My husband was supposed to get off at 3 and then he never showed up. Turns out his job had him working until 8 today. I’m holding it together until bedtime (which is at 8) and my son will just not go to sleep. He’s babbling and singing and doing everything possible to keep himself awake. When he starts to doze off I just start crying. Just sobbing. I come downstairs and my husbands there eating a sandwich and I start crying even harder. I didn’t eat dinner with my son because I was waiting for him to get home to eat to we could eat together. I just lose it. I’M REALLY crying now and I can’t breathe enough to tell my husband why. He sits me on the couch and just hugs me until I calm down a little.Today just sucked. I held it in and held it in until I exploded and really scared the hell out of my husband. My hat goes off to single parents, you are strong as hell! And to all other parents, sometimes a good cry helps. You can’t always control your children and they drive you crazy. But don’t hold it in for long, that’s no good for anyone.My husband ordered me a pizza and went to bed. I think I’m ready for tomorrow. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2N5ntwt
