Parenting

Do you ever look back at your day and think to yourself, "Crap. I certainly messed my kids up today"?

I feel off. Not sure what's wrong. No patience. No energy. No desire to do much or talk to anyone.

I blew it with Little Boy today. Let's just say that my reaction (or overreaction as the case may be) will be fodder for many a therapy session.


Sometimes I think my kids deserve so much better than me.

I know just how you feel. I'm glad it doesn't happen often - I'd have ulcers.

Damn. I'm sorry that you can't directly blame your husband. Key word: directly.

You're a great parent b/c you knew you lost it.

On a daily basis I think to myself, "how much will this cost me in future therapy." It's sad really.

I think the same thing about 100 times a day. It happens to the best of it. Like DD said, you are great because you recognize it. Keep your chin up.
