I was a bad mom today.

I’m sick, and I have been for three weeks. The antibiotics aren’t helping. I still wrangled my 17 month old and took him to music class. When we got home from that, he was in crazy kid mode, running around and getting into everything he knows he shouldn’t. And I lost my temper and yelled at him. Like really yelled, not just a loud voice. My poor boy was so stunned, he started to cry and then didn’t want anything to do with me. I tried to pick him up and he actually cringed away from me. Worst feeling in the world, knowing I had scared my boy. Now he’s curled up next to me fast asleep with his little hand wrapped around my arm. I know I’m forgiven but still feeling like a shit mom for taking my anger and ill feelings out on him. No real point to this, I guess. Just wanted to tell someone. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2P9OrVa
