I feel like such a bad mom. All day and I mean ALL day I acted horrible around my kids and expected them to also not be horrible. I have two toddler boys, the second they wake up (daily) it's "I want I want I want" coupled with neither wanting breakfast, then being right next to me as I try to make breakfast, grabbing food off their plates before I have served it. Banging, pulling, kicking the bathroom door as I try to use it, went to the doctor and they tore the place apart. I'm NO better though. I screamed, I swore in front of them at times. They just couldn't stop misbehaving no matter how much attention I gave them or incentives I took away. I really lost it on my son (who just had a birthday a few days ago) and tore all his decorations down and popped his balloons while he wailed in agony. Then he twice put his foot in his brothers privates in the bath. I know I acted irrationally but I was shaking as I yelled I was so mad. I feel like the worst PMS rage mom on the planet. I often feel in public that I'm the ONLY one yelling at my kids. I know "don't yell talk to them" but with two boys taking off in different directions or trying to sneak outside together, go through the fridge ect I just lose the patience to "speak gently and explain". I'll take any and all advice about how to improve the bad example I'm setting. My kids are my life but I'm exhausted to the point where I have a horrible tension headache.Side note: hubby is gone working , we have no local friends or family to help. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2MCO8DH
