I feel like I’m failing my son


I have prided myself on being extremely calm with my child, I have a lot of strong feelings about how adults actions affect their children and now I’m worried I’m losing my grasp on my parenting morals. My son is just over two, and VERY verbal.He Has slowly been getting more and more out of control and I’m worried it’s because of me, and I have no idea how to discipline a two-year-old. He says no to everything, he started hitting and pushing saying “it’s okay to hit you now”. This morning he threw a bunch of my stuff on the floor, Refused to pick it up so I told him if he wasn’t going to take care of my stuff that I didn’t have to take care of his and I was going to throw one of his toys away. Before you cut into me on that I know how immature that is I honestly have been feeling like shit about it for the last five hours that’s not who I want to be as a parent. I promised myself I would never scream at him and I have raised my voice more times in the last month than I ever have in my entire life. I feel like I’m doing everything wrong. It takes 15 minutes of him screaming and whining to get them out of the door, when we finally get to daycare he doesn’t wanna play inside he wants to play outside so I have to pick him up while he screams and whines and then just leave. Which breaks my heart. last night he told his dad “go away” in a super slow patronizing tone. Then he got HFM last week which is obviously just amplified the whining even though he is much better and back at daycare. These behaviours were there before but I keep hoping that there somehow related to him not feeling great so I’m going to add that.I need help with discipline that align with my parenting views of staying gentle. I’m so tired I feel like I’m going to burst in to tears and not stop. I feel like I’m completely failing him because I am so out of patience right now.This is half a vent and half please tell me I’m not alone and that someone has tips of how to better this. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2BNpsmf
