Sometimes I am just done with being climbed all over at the end of the day. My SIL refers to it as "running out of touches", as in you're just done being touched, and every little annoyance you'd normally handle no problem is amplified.Normally I have incredible patience, and I love that I'm my toddler's first choice in basically everything, but it's not always the case. I feel shitty about it, because I know he doesn't understand why I'm suddenly snappy at the end of the day. Some days I just want 5 fracking minutes of not being bothered or used as a jungle gym. I'm sure it's worse than it could be because I'm a single parent without much of a local support system to give me any breaks, but I just feel guilty, especially the morning after, when my "touches" have refilled and I'm back to my normal self and he's all sleepy smiles and wishing me good morning.Anyone else ever feel this way? Not that it would lessen the guilt, but it'd be nice to commiserate. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2XmWFSi
