I’m losing it

You’re most definitely not alone I have two littles 4 and 2 and I catch myself yelling at them way more than I’d like to admit. I wish I had wayyy more patience then I do but you’re most definitely not alone

It happens and I totally understand where your coming from. The best advice to give is to in the moment just breathe and take a minute before you respond. You try so hard to get them to listen, understand, etc and their little brains just can’t. It’s just a moment. It will pass and get better.

It's us mamas being overwhelmed, not getting enough self love, and so on we need time away to rejuvenate and some of us just doesn't have that option! Go into the bathroom, shower anything just to get a moment to yourself YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!!

Alot of what the others said....

But also, are you getting enough sleep? Are you still eating well? It's hard to remember to take care of ourselves sometimes, but If you take care of yourself, keeping yourself healthy, it can positively affect your mental state ❤️

I think it is inevitable that all moms are going to lose it and raise their voice at their kids sometimes! I used to really feel so guilty (and still do) when I had a hard time controlling my emotions. I think the best thing you can do and what I always try to do is apologize to your kids afterwards! The repair is the most important thing. We are all human and there is no way that we will never lose it no matter how hard we try! I have also realized that a lot of my overstimulation and losing it when my child is throwing tantrums or acting out was partly because I felt I had to “fix” it for him. I’ve recently realized that the only thing I can control is myself. So when he is freaking out my first priority is to focus on my own calm and keeping myself at a regulated state as much as I can! It’s amazing how much quicker he calms down and listens when I stay regulated. Which again is impossible to do 100% of the time, so when you do lose it just do your best to apologize!

Exactly what Grace said. :)
