Brutally honest kid

My two-year-old just made me cry. And I deserve it.I have two kids, 5 (m) and 2 (f). We’ve had a rough couple of weeks and I’ve been doing a lot of solo-parenting while my husband works. They have been at each other’s throats constantly and I have lost my patience, resorting to yelling. I swore up and down before having kids I wasn’t going to yell at them as I KNOW it’s harmful, and at the end of every day I’ve been hating myself for the times I’ve raised my voice at them.Well tonight I was laying with my daughter as she was falling asleep. She was cuddling and kissing a baby doll, so I asked her, “Are you being a kind mommy to your baby doll? What kind of things to mommies do?” to which she replied, “scream at people.” I asked, “What does your mommy do?” and she said, “Scream at [brother].”So. I’m pretty much heartbroken at how much I am failing my children. But I will use this as a wake up call and I will set an intention to be more mindful. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2BqiyTS
