Terrible Mother

I shouted at my son and left him to cry for a good 20 minutes. I feel so horrible I did this. I don’t normally and I know it’s normal to get stressed. I feel so bad for doing it.

Then do not do it again! I know I should not tell you this but i did the same and I promised myself i will not do it again! It broke mu heart seeing him how he cried😭😭😭

You have nothing to be feeling bad about. Mothers are overwhelmed and overly stimulated almost always. I did the same today and yes I do feel bad but I know I need to keep working on myself to be a better mom, which is a gradual work. I’m sure you love your son to the moon and back but this doesn’t make you a terrible mother for shouting at your little one. Hope you feel a bit better knowing that you are not alone in this.

Do not feel bad!! Like the other commenters said just promise yourself you won’t do it again but honesty walking away and breathing is always the best option! Don’t be to hard on yourself

I did the other day, my little girl was refusing to sleep she was in bed at 8pm and just cried and then when she stopped she would be jumping around playing up the lot. It was getting later in the night coming up to 11:30pm and still was just messing around I was going back and forth to her room to lie her down give her a cuddle put her back into bed she was becoming clingy and wouldn’t allow me to lie her down or leave her room if I did she would just cry. I hadn’t eaten that night and the house was a tip I had so much stuff to do that I just yelled at her to lie down and go to sleep. She started sobbing, I felt awful I went downstairs and cried myself, took myself into my garden for a little breather and then went back to her. Gave her a massive cuddle and apologised then sat with her until she started drifting off. We all do it, we all get over stimulated and overwhelmed. But in the process we’re all learning how not to do it and how to be better. It’s all a part of parenthood.
