Hit a new low as a mom this AM. 4 YO was tantruming and being mouthy and defiant. He went on the naughty step. Somehow things escalated and I swatted his bottom twice. Never spanked before. Feel embarrassed and hating myself. Got to work and period exploded all over my pants. Crying. Sigh. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

don't be too hard on yourself. This happens to more ppl than you think. You are human and make mistakes. Later on talk to your 4yr old and tell them how sorry you are and wrong BUT discuss why you were so upset. [ Reply | More ]

op: Thanks, will do. Just hate myself for not keeping my cool and excersing control over the sitch. Also, he is still unable to share well but expects all others to share with him. It started over a toy and I just want him to hurry up and learn the golden rule. Unreasonable probably, but it makes me truly frustrated with him. Sigh. [ Reply | More ]

or: like I said you aren't alone. I have 2 dc (and pg with #3) and have lost my shit too. This past weekend I lost it with my 4yr old (pooping in the undies) and after my explostion, I went into her room and spoke to her. I said I was sorry and I explained how wrong I was but why I was so upset. We spoke about what's been going on and the next day I actually saw her really trying not to have an accident.
